New curriculum challenges in health administration education.
Tradition curriculum content and structure in health administration education programs have focused on the managing of individual institutions, the business function, and the hospital as the center of the health system. These assumptions are challenged by managed care, with its orientation on integrating the business and clinical functions; prevention and primary care; and the provision of services through integrated service networks. The design and process of curriculum change in response to new organization structures and management challenges are explored.
