AASU Students Think Outside the Box for Award(Savannah, GA- February 22, 2007) A team of Armstrong Atlantic State University (AASU) students in the Health Services Administration master's program received the Innovation Award for "outside the box thinking" during the University of Alabama at Birmingham's first annual national Healthcare Administration Case Competition on February 7-8. The AASU team, consisting of Denise Vincent, Kimberly Holton, and Austin Fleming, competed against 13 other teams from schools as diverse as Johns Hopkins University, the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business, Arizona State University, and the University of Florida. For the competition, the AASU students analyzed a fictional case that focused on the construction and establishment of a new children's hospital. They deliberated and wrote up their recommendations to a panel of chief executive officers in the industry from across the country. Armstrong Atlantic was the only University System of Georgia school represented at the competition. AASU's program has been fully accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education since 2005. The program provides students the mastery of knowledge and skills required for the effective administration of health service organizations across the continuum of care. Specifically, students will understand the basic organizational, financial, legal, and managerial components of health services as they relate to a dynamic and evolving healthcare delivery system. |
