About The Healthcare Strategy Challenge

The Healthcare Strategy Challenge is a business simulation designed specifically for the healthcare sector. Participants manage a hospital, making strategic decisions about staffing, investments, service lines, and patient care - all while maintaining financial sustainability. The simulation recreates the unique tensions of healthcare management: balancing quality of care with budget constraints, investing in staff well-being while controlling costs, and serving community needs while remaining financially viable. Each round of decisions produces measurable outcomes in patient satisfaction, staff engagement, and financial health.
