Health Ecosystem Department (HEC)
San Telmo Business School
Purpose
The Health Ecosystem Department (HEC) is a research initiative launched by San Telmo Business School to meet the learning needs of people in positions of responsibility in public and private healthcare organizations. HEC has an Advisory Board, made up of representatives of leading public and private healthcare organizations, whose mission is to provide guidance and recommendations on challenges and issues of interest to the sector’s senior management. Drawing on this guidance and the department’s research, the specialization offers executive education through the ADS Program and the SESCAM Middle Management Program, an initiative developed with the Castilla-La Mancha Health Service to strengthen the leadership, management and decision-making capabilities of Primary and Community Care professionals. The learning approach treats healthcare as an ecosystem connecting health centres, hospitals, social care centres and home care; public and private management; prevention, emergency, acute and chronic care; and technology that can help put patients and professionals at the centre.
HEC structures its research around four interdependent perspectives that make it possible to understand the healthcare system as a whole and turn its changes into senior management decisions.
It analyses the forces shaping the system as a whole: health economics, demographic change, management models and new forms of integration among the different players in the health ecosystem.
The citizen
It places the person at the centre of the reflection: patient centricity, the needs associated with different life and health stages, chronic illness and the Health Continuum as an integrated, continuous view of care.
The professional
It addresses the development and management of healthcare talent: lifelong learning, professional empowerment, preventive medicine and the management of highly specialized profiles, executive teams and middle management.
Technology
It studies how innovation is transforming healthcare delivery and management, with particular attention to telemedicine, artificial intelligence, genomics and other technologies capable of changing processes, decisions and care models.
Healthcare Senior Management Program (AD-S)
The Healthcare Senior Management Program (AD-S) brings this ecosystem perspective into executive development through three editions: South (Seville), Central (Toledo) and North (Zaragoza). It is aimed at CEOs, general managers, executives, board members and business owners, as well as healthcare professionals and managers who have management responsibilities or are preparing to assume them. AD-S provides a comprehensive view of healthcare institutions’ management areas and practical tools to address change in the sector. Across its editions in Seville, Toledo and Zaragoza, it develops leadership, improves team and resource management, and helps participants understand how management decisions affect organizational results.
Who makes up our Advisory Board?
The Advisory Board brings together leading organizations from the public and private health ecosystem and connects San Telmo with those who know its challenges first-hand. Its members help identify issues that are relevant for research and training and keep HEC’s activity closely linked to the sector’s reality.
Its composition responds to a criterion of the highest representative level: joining requires the approval of the current members, and organizations are represented by their Chair, CEO or Board of Directors. Appointments are personal and non-transferable and are formalized through a Business Collaboration Agreement.
