There has never been a more pressing need for a fresh approach to healthcare management education leading\u00a0Prof. Mu\u00f1oz-Seca\u00a0to be part of IESE\u2019s Programa de Alta Direccion en Instituciones Sanitarias <\/em>for eleven years, and\u00a0serving as its Academic Director since 2008. \u201cWe have designed this program to provide a \u2018hands on\u2019 approach to healthcare management. Through specific research, the IESE faculty has been working to deliver a new point of view of the European healthcare reality. Starting from a broad perspective from different national health systems and healthcare organizations throughout Europe, we will analyze the latest concepts and ideas that create value in the healthcare sector.<\/p>\n The program will focus on creating a forum for discussion to enable healthcare managers to reassess their views on the current environment in which they operate. It will help participants identify and analyze the roles that senior executives must play today in order to lead their companies more efficiently, creating an operational culture that will enhance cooperation, learning, and competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n Currently, Prof. Mu\u00f1oz-Seca is conducting research into innovation in Service Design and Operations in Hospitals, as well as investigating other critical developments in worldwide healthcare.<\/p>\n
