New Specializations Offered in M.B.A. Program Courses address growing need for healthcare managers. Walden University is now offering two additional specializations within its Master of Business Administration program. These specializations help prepare students for a range of managerial positions in healthcare, one of the nation’s fastest growing industries.* In the new Healthcare Management specialization, students can gain a greater understanding of the accounting and finance functions in health care organizations. They will have the opportunity to learn how to apply economic principles to the allocation and distribution of health care resources and services. Students will also explore various techniques used to develop, manage and control health care finances and enhance organizational performance. Through the new Healthcare System Improvement specialization, students can broaden their understanding of techniques for assessing and improving quality. Students will also have the opportunity to learn to use information systems and technology to develop innovative solutions related to the coordination and timeliness of care as well as the management of medical records and orders. In addition, students will learn how technology can be used to achieve cost controls and improve supply and inventory management. “Whether students are currently working in a health care setting or seeking to obtain a position in the health care field, these two specializations can provide the solid foundation they need to advance in this rapidly growing industry,” said Dr. Rebecca Sidler Krysiak, M.B.A. program director. “Offered in collaboration with our College of Health Sciences, the specialization courses address the latest trends and technologies in health care organizations and give students the management skills required to help transform the future delivery of health care.” More Information To learn more, visit www.WaldenU.edu/mba.
