Primary Health Care & Universal Coverage
PHC systems and community health delivery.
The executive challenge
The problem this program solves
Your budget is fully spent and your outcomes have barely moved: primary health care delivers activity, reports and workshops — everything except the result citizens were promised. Reforms that ignore incentives do not fail loudly; they fade into familiar underperformance and a new strategy document. You will trace money to outcomes in the Data Lab, run a delivery review under fire, and leave with a measurement system that resists gaming.
Context
Why this matters now
Capability
What you will be able to do
- Design primary health care policy that survives implementation: evidence, incentives and delivery capability.
- Trace primary health care money to outcomes and defend the trace under scrutiny.
- Sequence primary health care reform so it survives resistance, turnover and the next budget cycle.
- Manage primary health care programmes with fiduciary discipline and visible value for money.
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 devolved county government 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, primary health care evidence included.
IPAT Data Lab™
The primary health care data at a devolved county government measures activity; nobody measures delivery.
Dataset: Synthetic administrative and survey data for a devolved county government — the two sources disagree.
Your task: Reconcile the sources, build the delivery dashboard, and defend it before a faculty "cabinet".
A primary health care delivery dashboard that resists gaming.
Data → Analysis → Decision, not Data → Code → Certificate
