Healthcare management, is as the name implies, the management of healthcare institutions like hospitals and clinics. Successful healthcare management professionals generally have a background in the healthcare industry as well as effective leadership skills. Even though the field may seem rather narrow, the experience of clinic managers and hospital managers is often radically different: being responsible for an emergency room or an intensive care unit is not nearly the same as running a dental clinic.
While healthcare managers don’t work directly with patients, their ability to manage efficiently directly affects the quality of care patients receive. Because of this direct link between healthcare management and patient experience, individuals who are given positions of leadership in healthcare facilities tend to have many years of experience in the industry. |
A master's degree in health care administration from a university accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education is the best preparation for a career as a health administrator or manager. Those interested in a career as a health information manager should acquire a 4-year degree and obtain Registered Health Information Administrator (RHIA) certification through the American Health Information Management Association |
