Health Systems Management Curricula: The Research Orientation and the Practical Professional Orientation

Health systems management studies train people for management and administration positions on all levels of the healthcare system. At present, promotion in the public healthcare system requires an academic degree. Acquiring the tools imparted in academic studies allows one to participate in tenders and receive promotion to senior management roles.

Studies at the Department of Health Systems Management combine the acquisition of knowledge in various administrative domains with practical professional knowledge related to the needs of the healthcare system. The program aims to impart a wide knowledge base encompassing management domains in the fields of business administration and behavioral sciences, while also learning about components of the healthcare and medical system. Based on these tools, students learn and practice application of the management tools in issues that are unique to Israel’s healthcare field .

In the field of healthcare systems management, graduates require management skills, understanding, evaluation, and skills in the art of interpersonal communications, ethical attention to the moral standards of the profession, and the ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team. The academization of the profession is relatively new. It evolved in recent years, with the increasing demand for evidence-based practice (EBP) (Bridges et al. 2007). The academization of the profession has led to an enhanced approach, by conducting studies in the field, constructing an extensive and thorough interdisciplinary instructional infrastructure, and awarding the profession and its students a high academic status.

Systems of higher education in Israel and around the world must prove the efficacy of their teaching programs. The authorities, parents, and students wish to ensure that students receive the promised education. Those responsible for accreditation require that the various departments integrate outcome measures to ensure that students have been given the opportunity to achieve the academic goals set and to reach a high level of proficiency in the field of their choice. In Israel, similar to other Western countries, a quality assessment system of institutions of higher education is operated by the Council for Higher Education. The Council for Higher Education is a public and professional institution that funds and supervises over the academic institutions in Israel. Its goal is to make sure that the academic institutions will have academic freedom. In addition, it works to maintain and develop academic quality. The head of the Council for Higher Education is the minister of 51.1.52 education; however, most of its members are from academia. Nonetheless, in order to maintain regular control processes, the initiative should come not only from the government but also from within the academic departments.

The purpose of the current study is to explore the contribution of various academic domains and learning skills to preparing research papers (final paper and seminar) that express the contents and skills learned by the end of the student’s undergraduate studies. In addition, the relationship between personal variables such as gender, age, country of birth, and year of immigration; family variables such as marital status and number of children;
