MODULE OVERVIEW

The dramatic advances in medicine around the turn of the century transformed the hospital into the key resource and organization hub of the American health care system.

Hospitals became central to the delivery of patient care, the training of health personnel, and the conduct and dissemination of health care research.

Hospitals, and more recently, health systems management has grown in importance as hospitals have grown in size and sophistication and combined into multi-hospital systems. The job of implementing board policy and the responsibility for day-to-day operations is delegated by the board to the hospital administrator. The hospital administrator has direct responsibility for the management team, the finances of the institution, facilities, equipment, planning and implementing new services, hiring and supervising personnel.

One of the most important tasks is to keep communication flow between the various management teams (board, medical administration, and staff, hospital departments).
