    Healthcare Operations & Consulting Externship

    This externship explores how care coordination work in acute mental health settings can be designed, analyzed, and communicated as a customer-centric operational system. Externs study the case manager’s role at IMH to understand how workflows shape patient experience, surface hidden risks, and make invisible coordination work visible. Through structured analysis, process mapping, and dashboard prototyping, externs learn how operational clarity supports continuity of care, safety, and institutional decision-making.
