Mission

ASInstitute® seeks to improve the skills and extend the capabilities of the managers responsible for running institutions engaged in the provision of health care.

Values

1/ Access:  learning that is accessible to everyone.
ASInstitute® voluntarily meets the educational requirements of university and/or professional training. Practitioners and students can, therefore, benefit from free access to training which is compatible with the framework of the  formal studies in their country .  ASInstitute® offers loans to those who cannot, for the moment, afford any expenditure on training.

2/ Independence from public or private interests.
ASInstitute® is not linked, directly or indirectly, to any public or private organization. The courses that are given are aimed exclusively at the promotion of values explained hereafter.

3/ Explicit promotion of values in the management of health care services.

• safety of patients and health care personnel,
• quality and efficiency of  care,
• answer to social needs,
• equitable and sustainable financing.

4/ Requirement of quality combining the three factors of good management:

• understanding the elementary concepts of management,
• development of a critical, pragmatic, and action oriented mind,
• capability to implement the best practices.

Method

The training uses unique multimedia content exclusively developed by the ASInstitute® .

It is distributed on a self-training platform that includes:

• courses and educational materials,
• hypertext links to  documents on the Internet,
• a messenger service for group work with the trainers,
• live dialogue sessions through the Internet on the principal themes  of the training.

For each theme, the multimedia training consists of:

• a demonstration, with the help of multimedia tools, of the theoretical bases and issues,
• a situation analysis that you will encounter in your professional life.
• implementation specific to health care facilities,
• examples,
• a bibliography,
• a self-evaluation in the form of exercises, games and  questions,
• organization of the sharing of information between managers.

Our team

Our team consists of 5 managers grouped around Dr Alain Sommer who share the same values and have worked together since 1998 while teaching a course in Paris .
