Why I did it: after four years of healthcare marketing analytics, I could tell clients what was happening but not always why adoption varies. This degree added the missing layer — how health systems, incentives and social context shape whether health initiatives actually work.

What the programme covered

Health economics and economic evaluation, healthcare operations, innovation pathways, and research methods — with a consistent emphasis on how institutional context, stakeholder incentives and social environment determine what's feasible, not just what's desirable.

Capabilities it added

  • Value-based evaluation: assessing initiatives on structured trade-offs and scenarios rather than single metrics
  • Systems context: reading incentives and governance across patients, providers and payers — and equity as a practical constraint on adoption
  • Operations lens: capacity, variability and incentive alignment as the reality check on any health initiative
  • Evidence methods: PRISMA systematic review, deductive thematic analysis, critical appraisal of heterogeneous studies
