Doctors, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals are heading back to school at Cedars-Sinai, joining the first class of a new, accredited master’s degree program in health delivery science, offering an advanced curriculum focused on measuring and improving the value of healthcare. The executive-style program emphasizes applied analytical skills, digital health science, healthcare finance and performance improvement strategies, among other subjects, to help prepare healthcare professionals for a changing marketplace that increasingly rewards medical providers for the value of their care rather than the volume of their procedures.
