A model digital company called CareVi will allow students to test the contents of their course. HAW's virtual care company consists of an office, a senior citizens' centre and an outpatient care service. Prof. Dr. Peter Stratmeyer, Academic Director of the Continuing Education, said: "This will allow participants to handle realistic management tasks such as writing duty rosters, conducting age structure analyses, developing culturally sensitive familiarisation concepts and dealing with customer complaints independent of time and location." Students will get to know different management levels and how living areas and team management, nursing service management and facility management function in the virtual company.
