About this Unit
This unit explores the nature of health services organisations and their management in contemporary social and political contextual frameworks. It examines, and integrates, the contributions of social science, management and organisation theory to these organisations with the utilisation of applied and specific examples relevant to the need of students and within a comparative and international context. The unit provides the opportunity for practical consideration and evaluation of actual health service settings and programs. The issues for detailed consideration are chosen on the basis of students' organisational and workplace experience and learning needs.
