Digital Health Strategy & Interoperability
National health information exchange.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
The programme was launched with a speech, funded with a loan, and designed without asking the only question that matters: what would make digital health strategy actually change on the ground? Every failed attempt makes the next digital health strategy reform harder to fund, staff and announce. You leave with a design canvas, a delivery chain and a measurement system for your own digital health strategy priority — built against your real constraints.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Sequence digital health strategy reform so it survives resistance, turnover and the next budget cycle.
- Manage digital health strategy programmes with fiduciary discipline and visible value for money.
- Navigate the political economy of digital health strategy reform without abandoning rigour.
- Commission digital health strategy evaluation and read it critically — attribution, gaming and all.
The IPAT Course Standard
The five-day journey
Each day is a deliberate progression in managerial capability — from strategic context, to analytical frameworks, to applied practice, to executive judgement under pressure, to a capstone that produces something your organisation keeps.
IPAT Signature Case™
The Dam at Two-Thirds
A flagship project at a ministry of health is two-thirds complete when independent review finds the hydrology assumptions optimistic and a cheaper alternative existed. Cancelling embarrasses the government; completing it strains the debt ceiling.
Your decision: Complete, redesign, or pause — and design the public accountability for whichever you choose, digital health strategy evidence included.
IPAT Data Lab™
A a national statistics office cannot trace its spending to outcomes citizens feel.
Dataset: Synthetic expenditure and outcome panel for a national statistics office, with leakage and coverage gaps.
Your task: Trace money to outcomes, find the value-for-money gaps, and design the dashboard that changes decisions.
An expenditure-to-outcome dashboard and findings memo.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
