2. Health Services Administration
 The role of a Hospital Administrator is to
ensure that the hospital is running efficiently
and effectively. This requires keeping cost,
quality, and access all balanced in such a way
that meets specific community needs
(Princetonreview.com).
 These managers coordinate necessary
healthcare services in hospitals, clinics,
managed care organizations, public health
agencies, or similar organizations (O*Net
Occupational Profile).

3. Health Services Administration
 Hospital Administrators’ work is often
underappreciated as they largely operate
behind the scenes to keep the hospital or
hospital system they oversee current and
competitive.
 While most managers work in offices inside
hospitals, nursing homes, or group medical
practices, many administration roles are now
able to be performed at off-site locations due
to the ever-increasing adoption of technology
(bls.gov).

4. History of Health Administration
 The definition of health administration, and thus
the role of a health administrator, has changed
drastically over the past century.
 In the early 1900’s, healthcare managers were
simply hospital staff, such as doctors or nurses,
that assumed administration responsibilities
(Haddock, 2002).
 As the role of hospital staff became more
specialized, Cornell offered the first modern two
year degree program to ensure that health
administrators were properly educated to handle
the ever-increasing duties of an administrator
(Stevens, 1999).
