“…Previous studies showed that senior executives of public hospitals in China tended to increase their participation in informal management-related training after taking up a management position [ 24 , 25 ], only to find it difficult to commit sufficient time for study and learning. Evidence from different industries and healthcare systems in the past two decades confirms that management competence can be acquired and improved through targeted training programs and continuous professional development [ 40 – 42 ]. However, universities should tailor their education strategies towards meeting developmental needs within work environments through partnerships with health care organisations [ 43 ].…”

Background Management decisions in health influence patient care outcomes; however, health management development courses in China are rare. This study aims to document and evaluate a transnational Master of Health Administration (MHA) course launched in 2000 for the benefit of Chinese health managers. Methods A case study of the MHA program jointly run by an Australian university and a Chinese Medical University was conducted. We reviewed the development of the MHA course through a document analysis (key events recorded in achieves, minutes, and audits) followed by reflection (by two course coordinators), extracting key themes related to adaptative strategies. We then conducted a questionnaire survey of 139 graduates seeking their views on relevance, satisfaction and challenges associated with each subject within the course, the relevance of key management skills (as determined by the Australasian College of Health Service Management competency framework), and the impact of the course on their personal career trajectories. Chi-square tests identified differences in the responses by age, gender, pre-training position, and current workplace. Results The curriculum pedagogy followed the principles of practice-based reflective learning. Research findings and student feedback shaped the curriculum design and subject content, to enhance management practices of the students. Survey participants expressed high levels of satisfaction and confirmed the relevance of all study subjects. Two subjects, health economics and data management, were perceived as being the most challenging. Of the ten management skills we assessed, relatively low self-rated confidence was found in “strategic thinking” and “planning”. Younger and less experienced graduates were more likely to report learning challenges (p < 0.05). Frontline managers were least likely to obtain promotion by changing employers (χ2 = 6.02, p < 0.05) or being seconded to another position (χ2 = 9.41, p < 0.01). Conclusions This case study illustrates the suitability of cross-country partnerships in health management training, which offers opportunities for managers to systematically explore and acquire a comprehensive set of management skills applicable to their career needs. Opportunities for developing training aligned to career development opportunities are critical for attracting and developing a competent and well-prepared health service management workforce in China.

“…Studies conducted in different industries and healthcare contexts over the past 20 years suggest that management competence can be acquired and improved through targeted training programs and continuous professional development [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ]. For example, a recent study using the UK Health and Safety Executive Management Competency Framework to train financial managers in Japan demonstrated the effectiveness of training programs in developing management competence and facilitating better work engagement between managers and subordinates [ 10 ]. A recent nursing internship program implemented at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto, Canada confirmed the success of professional development and mentoring in developing nursing leaders’ competency guided by the Canadian College of Health Leaders Framework (LEADs) (2013) [ 11 ].…”

Background: A competent medical leadership and management workforce is key to the effectiveness and efficiency of health service provision and to leading and managing the health system reform agenda in China. However, the traditional recruitment and promotion approach of relying on clinical performance and seniority provides limited incentive for competency development and improvement. Methods: A three-component survey including the use of a validated management competency assessment tool was conducted with Directors of Medical Services (n = 143) and Deputy Directors of Medical Services (n = 152) from three categories of hospital in Jinan, Shandong Province, China. Results: The survey identified the inadequacy of formal and informal management training received by hospital medical leaders before commencing their management positions and confirms that the low self-perceived competency level across two medical management level and three hospitals was beyond acceptable. The study also indicates that the informal and formal education provided to Chinese medical leaders have not been effective in developing the required management competencies. Conclusions: The study suggests two system level approaches (health and higher education systems) and one organization level approach to formulate overall medical leadership and management workforce development strategies to encourages continuous management competency development and self-improvement among clinical leaders in China.
