Master Health CareManagementKees van Wijk, PhD, programme coordinatorIn many ways, the years 2009 and 2010 have been very exciting forthe master programme in Health Care Management. The number ofstudents has increased substantially, the curriculum was enrichedwith an extra course and various improvement projects havestarted.The substantial growth of student numbers continued through theyears 2009 and 2010. Of course we are delighted with this increase instudent numbers, but this has also led to increased pressure on theteaching methods of the master programme. Therefore, we chose torenew the curriculum at some points.The course Communication management (in Dutch) has been replacedby the new English course Health Service Supply Management. Thiscourse is provided in cooperation with the Rotterdam School ofManagement (RSM). To further improve the quality of the theses, weprolonged the thesis writing process by one month. A specialgraduation programme was set up for excellent students. Undersupervision of several professors, a select group of students works upto a publication of a scientific article in an English-language peerreview journal. Each year five students are selected for thisprogramme.Seven master students in Health Care Management participated in anexchange programme with the university of Oslo or Milano (Bocconi).Twenty-five students from both master programmes of iBMG took partin the yearly study trip to London. During this trip, these students gota good impression of the English health care system in comparison toour Dutch health care system.Furthermore, we have had some fine successes during the reportperiod. In both 2009 and 2010, the thesis award of the DutchAssociation of Managers in the Health Care (in Dutch: NVZD -Nederlandse Vereniging van Bestuurders in de Gezondheidszorg) waspresented to a student of our master programme in Health Care38
Management. In 2009Trudie van Duin won theaward for her research onperformance indicators inparamedic care. PatriciaHerber won the award in2010 for her research on theapplicability of care pathwayswithin health care organisations.The report period was particularlycharacterised by the assessment of all educationalprogrammes of iBMG. Partly based on our institutional auditreport, an external committee of experts judged the quality of ourmaster programme positively. The committee also provided usrecommendations to improve the balance between the scientificlevel of our master programme and its professional orientation.The concentration of all face-to-face education on one weekday, therelatively high number of students coming from a university of appliedsciences, the relatively limited amount of time students spend on theirstudy and the quality of the theses with lower marks were recognisedas points of improvement. Based on these issues, the AccreditationOrganisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (in Dutch: NVAO -Nederlands-Vlaamse Accreditatieorganisatie) decided not to fullyextend the accreditation of the master in Health Care Managementyet. At the end of 2011, the NVAO will reassess the level of theses inthe master programme and will then decide whether or not to fullyextend the accreditation.Within the master programme Health Care Management, we took therecommendations of the NVAO very seriously and immediately startedworking on implementing the renewals mentioned earlier. Ourchallenge is to raise the academic level of our master programmewithout risking losing its professional orientation. We gladly acceptthis challenge to further improve our master programme in HealthCare Management and we are confidently looking forward to the finalaccreditation assessment of the NVAO.39
