Master of Business
Administration in Health Care Management
The MBA/HCM is designed to provide students with the business
management skills needed to manage successfully in today's health care
delivery systems. The MBA/HCM program emphasizes the identification,
analysis, and solution of complex management problems with a foundation
of health care concepts and decision models that will support the
variety of management roles that can be seen in today's health care
environment. The MBA/HCM specialization is based upon courses in health
care organizations, health care finance, quality and data base
management, health care infrastructure, and health care strategic
management.
The MBA/HCM develops students for the role managers play in defining
business problems, assessing information, considering alternatives, and
choosing the best solution. Imagine the manager as the hub of a wheel.
From the hub radiate spokes, each representing a specific discipline,
such as finance, law, marketing, operations, information systems, etc.
Each of these "spokes" generates inputs for the manager to assess and
incorporate into the decision-making process. The manager is a critical
user of these inputs in making the decision. Although generally not the
original producer of the information, the manager must be able to assess
the validity and reliability of the information in building a business
case for the decision.
To prepare students for the decision-making role, the MBA/HCM has
been designed to introduce the theory or principles that frame a wide
range of problems or issues in each of the courses. The most current
techniques or tools are applied to these theories to allow students to
practice making decisions to solve a wide range of problems.
The MBA/HCM consists of 46 credit hours. Thirty-one credit hours
constitute the core curriculum and 15 additional credit hours complete
the MBA/HCM. The core begins with one-credit, three-week, Managerial
Communication course designed to build strategies for success in the
MBA/HCM. It is a prerequisite to all the courses that follow. The
remainder of the core consists of 10, three-credit courses, which all
student who receive an MBA/HCM from the University of Phoenix must
complete. Those students in the MBA/HCM will complete five additional
prescribed courses to hone their skills in health care management.
Each University of Phoenix MBA/HCM student will create and maintain
an electronic portfolio reflecting the student's achievements throughout
the MBA/HCM program. It will include assignments from each course,
typically individual assignments, as well as other outcomes the student
may wish to add. These assignments will demonstrate the student's
ability to solve business problems at the graduate level and serve as a
partial catalog of the skills the student has mastered.
Note: Students who enter the MBA/HCM program with an undergraduate
degree that is not in business will be required to complete web-based
material (introduced during the Managerial Communication course)
covering the fields of Accounting, Finance, Statistics, and Economics.
These students must complete the web-based material and the included
self-assessments for each course prior to taking the Accounting,
Finance, Statistics, and Economics courses in the core. The web-based
material will familiarize the students with the terms and concepts
covered in a foundational course in that subject. That foundational
knowledge will be presumed by the faculty members who teach the core
courses. The web-based material may also serve as a useful review for
students who have studied these subjects as undergraduates, but would
benefit from a refresher.
