Health management programmes will be delivered by the Geneia Institute, an education arm of Geneia and company that specialises in the development of advanced clinical, analytics, and technical solutions for healthcare.

IHA chief health officer Jay Bhatt said: "Our hospitals are in the midst of a shift to value-based care and simultaneously improving care, enhancing the health of their patients, returning joy to the profession and lowering costs.
"Our leaders, physicians, nurses, and other staff need new tools and skills to transform healthcare delivery.
