Health care is Business. More over, it is big business. Over the last century health care organizations changed from (religious) charity-organizations into hard core commercial enterprises. Even in countries with a national healthcare system (like the UK), a lot of health care is provided by private providers. Money is an ever present subject (or problem) in our health care systems. Budgeting, tight financial control and accountancy are necessary elements of this system. Although the importance of money can hardly be overestimated, doctors are reluctant to get themselves involved in the raunchy world of money and financing.

In the framework of this Master course we give you a brief insiders view in the world of Health Care Financing. And remember: If you want to deliver innovative medical care, you got to understand the financial systems that functions underneath.
