The public is invited to attend a free lecture by Dr. Karen Harlos entitled Using Management Knowledge to Improve the Healthcare System on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 from 12:30 to 1:30 pm. The lecture takes place in room 3D01 on the 3 rd floor of the Duckworth Centre, corner of Spence and Ellice. A light lunch will be provided.
Dr. Harlos is Associate Professor and Inaugural Chair, Department of Business and Administration, Faculty of Business and Economics at The University of Winnipeg.
Management knowledge is an important source of insights that can improve healthcare organizations, quality of care, and patient outcomes. Yet, healthcare professionals are less exposed to research findings from organizational and management literatures as they might be. The lecture looks ahead at closing the gap between clinical and managerial research on the one hand and actual healthcare practices on the other.
Dr. Harlos also holds adjunct appointments at McGill University (Management) and the University of Northern British Columbia (Nursing).
