Learning unit contents

General concepts of management and quality management

This course discusses the main management principles that are useful for managing a pharmaceutical business unit in an healthcare organization (HCO). Organized in 2 parts, it discusses successively :

  • The main management principles in an organization viewed as a portfolio of financial, human, technical and intangible resources, resources that have to be coordinated and motivated by each manager in an efficient perspective in order to allow that its global organization be able to reach regularly the many objectives that are awaited by its stakeholders.
  • The main quality and security management principles in an HCO, taking into account its diverse constraints.
This course integrates an application of the concepts and methods considered during the course to an organizational change management project in the hospital pharmacy in which the internship is realized and a presentation of this project to the other students.
