MANAGEMENT OF MEDICAL AND HEALTH SERVICES
Overview

Earnings of medical and health services managers are high, but long work hours are
common.

A master's degree is the standard credential for most positions, although a bachelor's
degree is adequate for some entry-level positions in smaller facilities.

Employment will grow fastest in residential care facilities and practitioners' offices and
clinics.

A. Nature of the Work

Healthcare is a business and, like every other business, it needs good management to
keep it running smoothly. The term "medical and health services manager" encompasses all
individuals who plan, direct, coordinate, and supervise the delivery of healthcare. Medical and
health services managers include specialists and generalists. Specialists are in charge of specific
clinical departments or services, while generalists manage or help to manage an entire facility or
system.
The structure and financing of healthcare is changing rapidly. Future medical and health
services managers must be prepared to deal with evolving integrated healthcare delivery systems,
technological innovations, an increasingly complex regulatory environment, restructuring of
work, and an increased focus on preventive care. They will be called upon to improve efficiency
in healthcare facilities and the quality of the healthcare provided. Increasingly, medical and
health services managers will work in organizations in which they must optimize efficiency of a
variety of interrelated services, for example, those ranging from inpatient care to outpatient
follow-up care.

Large facilities usually have several assistant administrators to aid the top administrator
and to handle daily decisions. They may direct activities in clinical areas such as nursing,
surgery, therapy, medical records, or health information.
In smaller facilities, top administrators handle more of the details of daily operations. For
example, many nursing home administrators manage personnel, finance, facility operations, and
admissions, and have a larger role in resident care.
Clinical managers have more specific responsibilities than generalists, and have training
or experience in a specific clinical area. For example, directors of physical therapy are
experienced physical therapists, and most health information and medical record administrators
have a bachelor's degree in health information or medical record administration. These managers
establish and implement policies, objectives, and procedures for their departments; evaluate
personnel and work; develop reports and budgets; and coordinate activities with other managers.
In group practices, managers work closely with physicians. Whereas an office manager
may handle business affairs in small medical groups, leaving policy decisions to the physicians
themselves, larger groups usually employ a full-time administrator to advise on business
strategies and coordinate day-to-day business.
A small group of 10 or 15 physicians might employ one administrator to oversee
personnel matters, billing and collection, budgeting, planning, equipment outlays, and patient
flow. A large practice of 40 or 50 physicians may have a chief administrator and several
assistants, each responsible for different areas.
Medical and health services managers in managed care settings perform functions similar
to those in large group practices, except their staffs may be larger. In addition, they may do more
work in the areas of community outreach and preventive care than managers of a group practice.
Some medical and health services managers oversee the activities of a number of
facilities in health systems. Such systems may contain both inpatient and outpatient facilities and
offer a wide range of patient services.

Work environment. Some managers work in comfortable, private offices; others share
space with other staff. Most medical and health services managers work long hours. Nursing care
facilities and hospitals operate around the clock; administrators and managers be called at all
hours to deal with problems. They also travel to attend meetings or inspect satellite facilities.
B. Working Conditions
Most medical and health services managers work long hours. Facilities such as nursing
homes and hospitals operate around the clock, and administrators and managers may be called at
all hours to deal with problems. They also may travel to attend meetings or inspect satellite
facilities.
Some managers work in comfortable, private offices; others share space with other
managers or staff. They may spend considerable time walking, to consult with coworkers.
C. Employment
Medical and health services managers held about 250,000 jobs in 2000. Almost 2 out of 5
jobs were in hospitals. About 1 in 5 were in nursing and personal care facilities or offices and
clinics of physicians. The remainder worked mostly in home health agencies, ambulatory
facilities run by state and local governments, offices of dentists and other health practitioners,
medical and dental laboratories, residential care facilities, and other social service agencies.
D. Education, Training & Qualifications
Medical and health services managers must be familiar with management principles and
practices. A master's degree in health services administration, long-term care administration,
health sciences, public health, public administration, or business administration is the standard
credential for most generalist positions in this field. However, a bachelor's degree is adequate for
some entry-level positions in smaller facilities and at the departmental level within healthcare
organizations. Physicians' offices and some other facilities may substitute on-the-job experience
for formal education.
