Overview
This course explores how health systems are managed in Canada's changing and complex healthcare environment. Students will examine the governance, structure, and function of healthcare institutions, with a focus on the ethical stewardship of health information. Emphasis is placed on the secure collection, use, and disclosure of records, guided by legal, regulatory, and professional standards. Through the lens of leadership, communication, and change management, learners will engage with contemporary challenges in data quality, privacy, and system interoperability. The course fosters a deep understanding of the health information lifecycle, emphasizing the integration of policy, technology, and professional ethics. Graduates will emerge equipped to lead with integrity and insight in a data-driven, patient-centered healthcare system.

Application Details
Start Date:September and January (full-time); January and May (part-time online)
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through ontariocolleges.ca: for Fall 2027 entry, applications open in early October 2026 and the equal-consideration date is 1 February 2027, after which later applications are assessed on a first-come basis until seats fill; non-competitive programs begin receiving offers from 1 November 2026, competitive-program offers go out by 30 March 2027, and 1 May 2027 is the usual deadline to accept an offer. International applicants apply directly to Fanshawe (CAD 100 fee) and face fixed document deadlines rather than a single closing date: for the current intakes, study-permit and conditions-met documents are due 10/15 August 2026 (Fall), 9/15 December 2026 (Winter) and 5/15 April 2027 (Summer); missing a deadline can mean deferral to the next intake. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
