Target Audience
The Foundational Building Blocks of Hospital Development (HD) is designed to share and teach “best practices” to HD professionals and any OPO professionals wishing to develop and grow HD skills. This course is not intended as an initial HD orientation course. It is designed to supplement existing HD knowledge and provides a forum to explore resources, learn best practices and share with colleagues from across the country. It is recommended that those attending the Foundational Building Blocks of HD course should have at least three months of experience in HD. To build upon the foundational course, and to prepare new and future leaders, an Advanced HD course is also offered later in the year.
Course Format
The curriculum of the Foundational Building Blocks of Hospital Development (HD) course was developed based on feedback from HD directors and managers across the nation. Attendance of the entire course, which included the group presentation on the final day, will result in a certificate of attendance.
The course material is presented in a workshop format. Small group discussions and projects are facilitated and completed throughout the course with feedback from faculty. Please bring your laptop computer, if available. As a concluding exercise, all teams will be building and delivering a brief presentation on the final day, utilizing information and "best practices" shared during the HD course. It is extremely important that all attendees depart for the airport after 12:00 pm on Monday, June 12th. Certificates of completion will only be given to attendees who have attended the entire course.
