Health Administrator
Duties
and responsibilities: Health care administrators, also known as medical and
health services managers or health care executives, coordinate the activities
of medical organizations ranging from doctors’ offices to hospital departments
to health care corporations. They create goals and the strategies for achieving
them, and communicate this information to all employees. Because administrators
tend to such business concerns as budgeting, scheduling, information
management, marketing and internal communication, the medical staff can concentrate
on health care. Administrators also ensure their facilities comply with all
regulations and may represent their areas of responsibility at board meetings
or public hearings.
Salary: For
healthcare administrators overseeing general medical and surgical hospitals,
the average was more than $102,000. The average annual wage was $93,770 for
administrators at physicians' offices, while those overseeing home healthcare
services earned an average of $85,860.
Education: Many higher-level health care
administration executives have a master's degree in a field such as public
health or business, hospital or nursing administration. A bachelor's degree is
often sufficient for entry-level positions, or for employment with smaller
facilities when coupled with relevant healthcare experience.
Reflection:
No I do
not think I would like to be one. The reason why is because I am not so
interested in medical careers. My aspects or likes are on different type of
careers that don’t have to do with medical treatment. Although this is a great
job where you coordinate the activities of medical organizations, and earn a
good amount on salary, I do not see myself as a healthcare administrator.
