Certificate in Healthcare Analytics for Decision-Makers

Dignity Health Global Education (DHGE) has launched a second custom certificate with the Pepperdine Graziadio Business School — the Certificate in Healthcare Analytics for Decision-Makers. The program will equip healthcare professionals with the know-how for analytics that will enable them to make better-informed decisions, using hard evidence. Upon completion of the program, graduates will bring greater efficiencies and control across metrics like readmission rates, complication rates, and new market identification.

This unique program has been co-developed with Dr. Samuel L. Seaman, professor of Decision Sciences at the Graziadio Business School, and Tim Arambula, Director of Planning, Analytics, and Strategic Intelligence at CommonSpirit Health — bringing high-quality academia from one of the nation’s top business schools together with the largest not-for-profit health system in the U.S.

The healthcare industry has shifted from volume-based care to value-based care — this means that healthcare organizations must adopt a patient-centric and business-savvy mindset. DHGE has partnered with the Pepperdine Graziadio Business School to access their wealth in experience-driven education and longstanding relationship with the business community to help develop value-centered leaders and advance responsible healthcare business practice through education that is entrepreneurial in spirit, ethical in focus, and global in orientation.

For the last 50 years, the Pepperdine Graziadio Business School has challenged individuals to think boldly and drive meaningful change within their industries and communities. Dedicated to Developing Best for the World Leaders, the Graziadio School offers a comprehensive range of MBA, MS, executive, and doctoral degree programs grounded in integrity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. The Graziadio School advances experiential learning through small classes with distinguished faculty that stimulate critical thinking and meaningful connection, inspiring students and working professionals to realize their greatest potential as value-centered leaders.
