The E-MHEM project is aimed at developing
a set of e-learning elements to be incorporated in management courses
for companies operating in the healthcare sector. This multifunctional
project provides for a continuous training platform (E-MHEM Virtual
Community), which will assemble cases, problems and solutions that arise
during implementation. A network of potential users already exists,
thanks to the experience gained by the partner universities.
The specific objectives are as follows:
joint use of distributed resources to improve the training courses
in health management offered by individual universities,
better access to complex teaching material
through the use of multimedia systems,
development of supporting elements for
distance learning courses and introduction of new didactic concepts
by creating a special environment for exercises, discussions and joint
learning,
strengthened coordination and integration
of Master programs in health economics and management, in order to underpin
the existing network and promote the exchange of information, experience
and best practice,
elimination of problems in transferring
content relating to the practical training of health care personnel,
a dynamic system for evaluation of training
efficiency, in contrast to the system used in the traditional approach
to training.
