Healthcare Project Management: Fundamentals to Practice

This 3-course Specialization prepares you to lead healthcare projects from initiation through evaluation and sustainment. You will learn how to identify project opportunities, define goals and success measures, analyze stakeholders, and create project charters that establish a strong foundation for success. Throughout the courses, you will develop practical skills in project planning, scheduling, budgeting, resource management, communication, risk management, and performance monitoring. You will also learn how to support implementation, drive adoption of new processes and technologies, evaluate project outcomes using meaningful metrics, and develop strategies to sustain improvements over time. The series uses a single narrative hospital that runs across all three courses, so every concept is grounded in a realistic scenario rather than abstract theory. By the end of the Specialization, you will be able to plan, execute, evaluate, and sustain healthcare projects while applying project management tools and frameworks to improve healthcare operations, quality, and patient outcomes.
