While medical personnel are the frontline of any healthcare organization,
there are other healthcare professionals in whom patients invest
their trust and hope—even though they’re not always aware
of who these people are or the roles they play. These professionals
are healthcare executives (also called healthcare administrators
and healthcare managers). They are the men and women who manage
today’s hospital and healthcare organizations.
Healthcare
executives:
- Ensure
that their organizations have strong medical, operational, and
financial footing to serve the needs of patients, their families,
and the communities
- Are
skilled, trained professionals, who care deeply about the quality
of care patients receive. They partner with physicians, nurses,
and other professionals to provide care
- Help
in educating community members about important health issues
- Ensure
that hospitals and other healthcare organizations serve as “safety
nets” in their communities by providing emergency and ongoing
care, as well as accurate and timely information about public
threats in times of crisis
