Content
Solving health care problems requires various approaches of which scientific research is one. In this module the student acquires knowledge and expertise in carrying out health care research. Solving health care problems also implies innovation, although this is not a self-evident process. The module therefore offers insight in the role of innovation in organisations and in the factors that affect innovation and change processes. Next to that, the student gets insight in the informal processes of health care organizations and, related to that, insight in reasons why health care practice is often different from what is rationally and formally planned (sociology and health care organization).
This knowledge is important for each health scientist working in the complex health care practice. The students will design a health care research themselves and they will provide an advise by analysing a dataset for the project. Knowledge regarding research methods and organizational change management will be applied.
