Overview
Reimagine Health: Unlocking Value for All!

Welcome to the Health and Healthcare Business & Management Research, a dynamic and forward-thinking platform for academics, industry leaders, and practitioners to collaborate on the evolving challenges of the healthcare industry and leadership practices in a global business context.


Mission:

Our group aspires to be an invaluable resource for Doctor of Business Administration students, doctoral researchers, and industry professionals committed to advancing the frontiers of healthcare management. By leveraging diverse methodologies and embracing interdisciplinary perspectives, we seek to address the pressing challenges and untapped opportunities of a field undergoing continuous challenges.


What we do:

Through thought-provoking discussions, innovative research projects, and the exchange of diverse perspectives, we aim to:

  • Bridge Theory and Practice: Close the gap between academic rigor and real-world application, ensuring that cutting-edge research informs tangible solutions.
  • Promote Contemporary Excellence: Explore emerging themes such as digital transformation in the healthcare sector, the integration of AI and machine learning, and the role of innovation in enhancing sustainability and performance.
  • Empower Future Leaders: Equip researchers and practitioners with the skills and insights required to navigate the complexities of the industry and achieve sustainable business excellence.


Why Join Us?

This research group is more than a forum for academic exchange—it is a vibrant community of like-minded individuals dedicated to advancing healthcare through collaboration and innovation:

  • Engage in pioneering research initiatives that tackle pressing healthcare challenges and improve patient outcomes.
  • Connect with a global network of academics and industry leaders committed to who are committed to driving positive change in healthcare practices.
  • Be part of a movement that that reimagines healthcare management, integrating new technologies, patient-centreed approaches, and sustainable practices to meet the demands of tomorrow.


Join Us in Shaping the Future

We invite researchers, scholars, and industry practitioners to collaborate with us in shaping the future of healthcare management. Together, we aim to set new standards for patient-centred care, innovative healthcare solutions, organisational resilience, and leadership in the evolving landscape of the 21st century.

Club Objectives

The Health and Healthcare Business & Management Research Group is dedicated to advancing actionable knowledge in the field of behavioural science, business and economics as it pertains to healthcare management. By driving innovative solutions and addressing critical research areas, we aim to influence contemporary healthcare leadership practices and foster the evolution of these fields into a more integrated and insight-driven discipline. Our group's focus areas include:

  • Digital Health Innovation: Research explores the adoption and integration of AI and machine learning in healthcare management, addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by Electronic Health Records(EHR). It also investigates the transformative effects of telehealth and remote patient monitoring on patient outcomes and healthcare efficiency, alongside sustainable business models for telehealth services.
  • Equity and Access in Healthcare: This theme examines strategies for reducing health disparities in underserved populations and the role of healthcare policy in enhancing access to care. Additionally, research focuses on designing patient-centred care models that prioritize patient needs and experiences, along with evaluating the effectiveness of patient engagement tools.
  • Value-Based Care and Outcomes: Investigations in this area centre on the transition from volume-based to value-based care delivery models, emphasizing the measurement of patient outcomes and satisfaction. It also includes the development and assessment of value-based pricing models for pharmaceuticals, analysing their impact on market access and patient outcomes.
  • Healthcare Workforce and Organizational Management: This theme analyses strategies for addressing workforce shortages and burnout among healthcare professionals while emphasizing the importance of diversity and inclusion initiatives in healthcare settings. Research also delves into interoperability in healthcare systems, focusing on overcoming data exchange and patient data protection barriers to improve healthcare delivery.
  • Pharmacoeconomics and Supply Chain Dynamics: Research in this area evaluates the cost-effectiveness of new drug therapies, including the economic impact of innovative pharmaceuticals versus standard treatments. It also addresses the economic implications of pharmaceutical distribution and supply chain management, exploring strategies for optimizing supply chains to reduce costs and enhance availability.
  • Economic Implications of Healthcare Policy and Regulation: this theme examines how healthcare regulations across different countries influence drug pricing and availability, focusing on the economic effects of price controls and market exclusivity policies. It also explores the financial impact of introducing new pharmaceuticals and strategies for managing budget constraints, particularly as they relate to high-cost therapies and their integration into healthcare systems. It also focuses on the role of Health-Related Quality of Life(HRQoL) metrics in pharmacoeconomic evaluations and decision-making processes, as well as analysing the relationship between medication adherence, HRQoL, and overall healthcare costs.
  • Pharmacoeconomics in Personalized and Preventative Medicine: This topic analyses the cost implications of genomic testing for tailoring drug therapies and assesses the long-term economic benefits of precision medicine, particularly in managing chronic diseases. It highlights how individualized approaches can improve outcomes while considering financial sustainability. This topic also evaluates the cost-effectiveness of preventive drug therapies in reducing overall healthcare expenditures, such as case studies on the economic impact of vaccination programs and preventative treatment plans, demonstrating how proactive strategies can lead to significant cost savings in healthcare.
  • Pharmacoeconomics in Managing Rare and Chronic Diseases: this sub-topic addresses the balancing of costs and benefits in the development and reimbursement of orphan drugs, exploring the significant economic burden that rare diseases impose on healthcare systems. It also explores cost-effective strategies for managing chronic diseases within healthcare systems, with an emphasis on the critical role of patient education and self-management programs in enhancing economic outcomes and improving patient quality of life.

By bridging these key areas, researchers will contribute valuable insights into enhancing healthcare systems and advancing patient-centred initiatives, thereby driving meaningful change across various aspects of healthcare. Ultimately, this will foster innovation and improve economic outcomes within the healthcare sector.
