Organizations (3 Credits) The healthcare field is undergoing a rapid shift toward an evidence- based paradigm, in which strategic decisions are increasingly informed by data, analytical models, and demonstrable outcomes. As a result, healthcare leaders are expected not only to make sound decisions, but also to substantiate those decisions through evidence that demonstrates feasibility, impact, and sustainability.
