Testimonials

As a Nursing Lecturer myself, I had two expectations of the Health Services Management programme—the rigour of the academic delivery and the practicality of my learning must add value to my professional field. The way Griffith University structured their programme delivery and assessment methods met these expectations.

In addition, the programme stuck a balance between theoretical and practical approaches to clinical leadership and healthcare management perspective, supported by tailoring the academic delivery to be specifically relevant to Singapore context. This allowed me to apply what I had learned to good practice in terms of developing and mastering subject matter expertise to teach the curriculum to my students, where most of them would go on and embark on the journey to become Registered Nurses in the Healthcare sector. Jeffrey WooNursing Lecturer, Local PolytechnicMaster of Health Services Management (2018)

I have always believed in continuous learning and expanding my knowledge as the healthcare industry is ever-changing. My current role is to obtain diagnostic images for clinicians, but there are many areas I can grow into, be it switching to a different imaging modality to gain experience or advancing towards a supervisory position.

The courses taught under Griffith University’s Master of Health Services Management programme have provided me with insights that go beyond just being a ground staff, and I am now better prepared for the demands and expectations that come with progression into Management, should the opportunity arise.

In particular, the change management and leadership courses have been beneficial as the theories are highly applicable at the departmental level where we constantly look for innovation and improvements. Furthermore, it was great to be able to connect with the Griffith University faculty during the block-teaching classes as they provided invaluable insights about the industry.

Leong Bao RuRadiographer, Public Healthcare InstitutionMaster of Health Services Management (2018)

I felt it was time to empower myself with more knowledge and further develop my Nursing career. Thus, I decided to advance with a Master of Health Services Management qualification. I opted to study with Griffith University as the administrative staff and lecturers were friendly and supportive, and the flexible study schedule allowed me to balance work, study, looking after my child and spending time with my family. The Master’s programme contains several modules that have helped me in my work such as “Translating Clinical Innovation into Work Practice” and “Health Workforce”, and studying them has enabled me to progress along the Nursing management pathway and developed my leadership and management skills. I will recommend Griffith University due to its structured curriculum and excellent lecturers. Ng Yi LiAssistant Nurse Clinician, Government HospitalMaster of Health Services Management (2019)

Master of Health Services Management

Unit Outline

Healthcare SystemsThe cornerstone of understanding how to effectively work, manage and lead in health services is to fundamentally understand how healthcare systems are structured and operate. The course will equip students with knowledge on the evolution, rationale, approach and structures found in health systems. It focuses on the Australian healthcare system but also provides opportunities to examine international systems to provide information, comparison and contrast. The course content is transferable to a range of different healthcare settings and enhances decision-making skills. Healthcare systems are examined in a range of delivery and work settings including public, private, and acute and community health. Numerous activities are drawn from actual experiences of managers and are used to integrate theory and practice within the course.

Leadership in Management for Health ServicesThe course addresses the need to provide education in leadership to those who will manage health service organisations as well as programmes in public health. It is designed to focus on leadership traits, competencies and opportunities for people working in different roles, responsibilities, teams, units and structures, now and in the future, within both health service sectors and other sectors or industries. Students have the opportunity to examine and enhance their own individual leadership styles and approaches.

Health EconomicsThe course examines the main issues in Australian health policy from an economic perspective and explains the relevance of economic thinking to decision-making in healthcare. The content and issues discussed will consider healthcare delivery systems within the context of scarce resources competing for a multitude of health needs. The course will also explore healthcare delivery within a framework of effectiveness, efficiency and equity.

Change Management in Dynamic Healthcare SystemsHealthcare system reforms and constant restructuring require managers to acquire new skills and competencies and reframe their traditional approaches to health service management. One of the critical skills for today’s healthcare manager is the ability to successfully lead change. This course invites students to critically evaluate the ways in which health service management adapts to the competitive and changing healthcare environment and to explore various approaches to effective and efficient healthcare management. During the course, participants will expand their change management acumen with methodologies for planning, evaluation influencing and negotiation, and their applications in health services with regards to a changing environment. The management skills that students will develop by completing this course will complement other essential management skills such as leadership, quality management, communication and strategic planning.


Unit Outline

Health InformaticsThis course considers the increasing impact of technology in contemporary society with a particular focus on health services. It explores some current applications of health informatics and identifies a number of issues associated with the use of technology in healthcare. The course provides the foundation for ongoing exploration of health informatics. The role of government with respect to health ICT policy, strategy and funding is also explored.

Health Finance and Project ManagementThe Health Finance and Project Management course has been designed to be relevant to the industry and will offer a range of activities that participants may encounter in a typical workplace and in informatics management. The course links theory and practice by discussing contemporary theoretical concepts and applying this knowledge in reflective questions and assessment items. An industry-based scenario in the implementation of projects in health services and financial systems provides a further link to practice and an enhanced understanding of the application of theoretical principles.

Health WorkforceThis course provides students with an opportunity to study the principles of human resource management, especially the integration of functional practices and processes in systems which drive the achievement of the strategic objectives of the organisation. Health services are open systems and human resource management is a critical process for developing organisational competency to transform inputs into effective outcomes. Health service workforces are highly complex and the environment undergoes competition for resources, rapid technological change and high levels of community demand. The industrial relations landscape is impacted by the dominance of the public sector in the labour market, high levels of union membership, rapid change and the culture of health professionals.

Translating Clinical Innovation into Work PracticeThis course provides students with the opportunity to gain knowledge and insight to a number of facets of innovation, and the translation of new ways and transformative working into the healthcare workplace. The focus is on clinical innovation which looks at direct consumer, patient and client care across primary, secondary and tertiary sectors.

Strategic Decision Making in HealthThe primary purpose of this course is to develop knowledge and skills that can be applied in a variety of healthcare settings to assist health service managers in making value-added decisions, policy interpretation, service planning, and service strategy and structure. Participants will apply high levels of critical analysis and evaluation as they examine these areas. This course is designed to equip participants with the skills to address these issues in strategic decision-making in health systems, policy implications, health services planning priorities and the allocation of resources. Current issues will be contextualised within political, economic and ideological frameworks.

Health Policy and PlanningThe course deals with health policy and planning through the consideration of general policy formation issues, contexualised within health service policy development and health services planning.

Foundations of Research Inquiry in HealthThis course introduces students to the application of research approaches in health, social work, and human and community services. It aims to provide students with the knowledge, skills and techniques necessary for them to conduct their own research project. It will also encourage them to critically examine research methods in terms of their inclusiveness, ethics, validity and reliability when applied to research in health and human services.

Health ProjectThe course provides students with an opportunity to work on a project of interest to them and to develop research, investigation and analysis skills. The project might involve preliminary examination of issues and problems to be further explored in later research, which relate to service operations or policy reform areas, or link to work-related activities and questions. Students work independently but are supported by experienced academic staff.

Applied Ethics and Law for Health Services ManagersThe contemporary health manager requires a working knowledge of the law that governs many aspects of health services planning, delivery and management. Knowledge of the fundamentals of law, including contract, employment, commercial and administrative law, is essential in the contemporary health setting to assist the health service manager to fully appreciate the accountabilities and risks that are inherent within the health services environment. The course will provide students with an appreciation of the Singapore legal system and alternatives across jurisdictions, as well as better enabling health service managers to understand the legal system, and provide an insight into legal process.


Unit Outline

Health Workforce Planning and InnovationStudents participating in this course can link workforce planning into the strategic and operational planning required for health organisations and systems. Students will learn about the integration of the planning process and how it is critical that workforce planning is a component of the whole planning function in a health organisation. The course aims to assist students in not only requiring a set of workforce planning skills but also to develop a capacity to think critically on this major responsibility area in health management.

MHSM DissertationThe Dissertation research course gives students the opportunity to undertake a substantial piece of research on a topic of their interest. The course involves the completion of a research proposal, including experimentation and analysis of research results. This is an opportunity for students to prepare and present a completed Masters degree dissertation or thesis while developing their research skills. Students work with an appointed academic supervisor. The dissertation courses is the equivalent of 4 courses in the Master of Health Service Management programme (40 credit points).


Career FairThe annual Kaplan Career Fair is the biggest employment event held on campus. The Fair offers an opportunity for students to meet employers face-to-face to learn about career paths and job opportunities available to you throughout your programme and beyond. Students can enhance their employability and hone resume writing and interview skills through career coaching workshops.
