Difference Between Healthcare Management vs. Healthcare Administration

Healthcare administration and healthcare management are often incorrectly viewed as the same fields. 尽管有相似之处,但这两种职业重点之间也存在独特的差异.

医疗保健管理和医疗保健管理之间的主要区别

医疗保健管理侧重于监督医疗保健设施或系统的方向, organization-wide initiatives, and “big picture” needs, 而医疗保健管理则侧重于单个部门和预算, day-to-day operations, and staffing.

医疗保健管理还关注整个组织的总体需求. 相比之下,医疗保健管理更侧重于个别领域和部门. 医疗保健管理人员帮助指导组织的政策和程序,并与整个系统共享该信息, 而医疗保健管理员更专注于最好地使用和指导部门内的员工.

Healthcare management job titles may include:

  • Hospital administrator
  • Executive director
  • Practice administrator
  • Public health director
  • Health advocate
  • Social welfare administrator

Healthcare administration job titles may include:

  • Clinic director
  • Hospice care director
  • Health services manager
  • Practice administrator
  • Medical records manager
  • Practice or office manager

There are also unique job opportunities for students considering healthcare administration vs. nursing. 有了合适的教育和工作经验,你就可以在这两方面都有所作为.

Where do healthcare administrators and managers work?

医疗保健管理员和医疗保健经理可能在类似的环境中工作, such as hospitals, private clinics, nursing homes, assisted living facilities, 甚至是教育机构,如教学医院或学区.

医疗保健管理人员和医疗保健行政人员的日常任务和战略目标通常不同,并且通常取决于工作地点.

医疗保健管理员和医疗保健经理所需的技能

医疗保健经理和管理员通常位于高管或高管级别. 正因为如此,某些领导和软技能可以帮助他们取得成功:

  • Analytical skills
  • Communication and interpersonal skills
  • Problem-solving skills

In addition, it is vital that both healthcare administrators and managers understand medical language, processes, and the unique environment of hospitals, clinics, and other health agencies or providers.

医疗保健管理和医疗保健管理的教育要求

Minimum requirements depend on the nature of the job. In healthcare administration, earning an associate degree 能帮助你找到你的第一份入门级的行政工作和你在医疗保健行业的职业跳板吗.

For a career in healthcare management, earning a health administration bachelor’s degree 帮助学生在金融等领域建立商业头脑, project management, and marketing, 同时也为他们在医学领域特有的课题打下坚实的基础, such as managing patient records and privacy laws.

适用于希望晋升到更高级别职位的医疗保健管理员或管理人员, such as vice president or chief operating officer, 健康相关领域的硕士学位或专注于医疗保健的工商管理硕士学位可能是有益的.
