Careers in Health Services Administration

Health systems management or health care systems management describes the leadership and general management of health care systems, hospitals, and hospital networks. The term includes management at all levels. In the US, management of a single organization (e.g., a hospital) is also known as healthcare management, medical and health services management, or health administration.

As the health care system in the US grows to meet the increasing demand for medical care, the need for administrators to manage health care facilities is also increasing.
