Overview
Health care delivery is entering a period of profound transformation. Advances in digital medicine and artificial intelligence—combined with evolving payment models and regulatory frameworks—are reshaping how care is designed, delivered, and sustained. In this new environment, leaders must understand not only emerging technologies, but also the clinical, operational, and policy realities that determine whether those technologies succeed in practice.
This hybrid postgraduate certificate program integrates clinical, regulatory, and market perspectives to provide participants with a comprehensive framework for evaluating, adopting, and scaling technology-enabled models of care. Through case-based learning, applied exercises, and interactive on-campus sessions in Boston, participants move beyond theoretical discussions to examine how tools such as remote patient monitoring, hospital-at-home models, and artificial intelligence (AI) driven administrative, diagnostic, and treatment support solutions can be responsibly implemented within today’s complex health care systems.
The curriculum emphasizes practical implementation grounded in evidence and structured need-finding methodologies, helping leaders avoid costly missteps and align innovation with real clinical and operational priorities. Participants conclude the program by developing a workplace-ready proposal that addresses a pressing challenge within their own institution, ensuring they return prepared to lead sustainable, technology-enabled transformation in health care delivery.

Enroll with your Team
Technology transformation rarely happens in isolation. The Technology-Enabled Care Delivery program provides an opportunity for colleagues from the same organization to learn together and apply course concepts directly to their institution’s priorities.
Participants attending with colleagues can:
- Work together on a shared capstone project focused on a real-world challenge within their organization.
- Receive private, group-specific coaching to help their team develop and refine their capstone project.
- Explore institution-specific applications of digital health, AI, and other technology-enabled approaches through dedicated discussions and breakout sessions.
- Build a shared framework and vocabulary that teams can bring back to their organization to support technology implementation.
Multidisciplinary teams are particularly encouraged to participate, bringing together clinical, operational, administrative, technology, and other perspectives to address digital transformation challenges collaboratively.
Curriculum
Program participants will engage in a structured blend of preparatory online learning and an immersive, in-person workshop experience. Foundational sessions introduce the architecture of digital medicine, artificial intelligence, payment policy, and regulatory strategy, establishing a shared framework for evaluating technology-enabled care models.
Interactive case discussions, applied exercises, and hands-on skill-building sessions deepen participants’ understanding of hospital-at-home programs, remote patient monitoring, digital health applications, and AI-driven clinical and administrative tools. Throughout the curriculum, emphasis is placed on practical implementation within existing clinical workflows and complex health system environments.
The program culminates in the development of a formal workplace implementation proposal. This capstone project requires participants to apply structured need-finding methodologies, assess stakeholders and regulatory considerations, and design a detailed plan for deploying an existing digital solution to address a specific challenge within their home institution.
Key Program Outcomes
Participants leave this program with a workplace-ready implementation proposal for a real technology-enabled care initiative at their own institution, built using structured frameworks for evaluating clinical value, regulatory fit, and financial sustainability. The program's dedicated curriculum module, Assessing ROI in Digital Health, equips leaders to distinguish technologies that create measurable value from those that add unnecessary cost or complexity, so organizations can invest based on evidence rather than promise alone.
What Participants Can Do After the Program:
- Apply structured, need-finding frameworks to evaluate digital and AI technologies against real clinical and operational priorities, rather than starting from the technology itself
- Assess regulatory, payment, and policy considerations before implementation, reducing the risk of costly missteps
- Use technology assessment frameworks to separate solutions with demonstrated value from those that add cost or complexity without clear benefit
- Build a strategic roadmap for scaling a technology-enabled care model within a hospital or health system setting
