HealthCare & Hospital

Hello,
Hospital management is to healthcare management as pediatricians are to physicians; the former conduct specialized duties within a broader field. However, just as physicians may elect to practice general medicine, healthcare managers, already experts in sophisticated and interdisciplinary subject matter, need not refine their professional identities any further. Moreover, the decision to specialize should always be made with care, as the differences between healthcare and hospital management are significant and readily apparent in the personal characteristics best suited for each career. Healthcare managers oversee business and operational aspects of a healthcare or medical facility, maintaining the financial integrity of the organization and supporting the industry economic infrastructure. They possess a deep understanding of the structural elements and administrative standards of the healthcare system. They are primarily business people and not typically medical practitioners. Core competencies of healthcare management include:
Design and analyze business, marketing and financial strategies and initiatives
Create, evaluate, communicate and revise business plans
Establish and enforce organizational policies and procedures
Collect, analyze and interpret financial data
Assess financial risk and manage assets
Recruit, interview and train facility staff members
Oversee facility staff to insure quality patient care
De-escalate conflict and mediate negotiations among care providers
Liaise with physicians and other executives to enhance profits and productivity
Engage in public relations and communicate with stakeholders
Despite their numerous responsibilities, healthcare managers usually retain an executive distance, situated in offices and less visible to patients than care providers. For the most part, the healthcare management duties described above also apply to hospital management; its the environment in which those duties are performed that distinguishes the specialty. Choice is yours. According to me. Health care management is good.
