Executive decisions in hospital management: a simulation experience

This online course offers healthcare leaders a realistic team-based exercise to tackle executive challenges and strategic decision-making. Developed in partnership with Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, this course strengthens managerial skills through simulations covering mission/vision, service mix, capacity, quality, patient/payer mix, marketing, staffing, finances, telehealth, and community initiatives. To gain practical skills and learn to use data for strategic decisions, manage healthcare crises with strategic decision-making in real-case scenarios, interacting with top educators from the US and Europe.

The program consists of 21 equivalent hours and is built on 2 pillars. The training is aimed at maximizing participant engagement through alternating synchronous ("live") and asynchronous (independently usable by participants) sessions.

The Hospital Management Simulation is designed for a broad range of professionals involved in the healthcare ecosystem. This includes healthcare provider executives, policymakers, and industry leaders across the entire healthcare value chain — such as those working in pharmaceuticals, medical technology (medtech), digital health (mHealth), and related sectors. The program is particularly valuable for those seeking to deepen their understanding of hospital dynamics, enhance strategic decision-making, and foster collaboration between public and private stakeholders in healthcare.
