Introduction

Healthcare administration is the management of all the non-clinical functions involved in operating a healthcare facility, from day-to-day operations to staffing to budgeting and finance to long-term strategic planning to ensure the success of the healthcare provider or system. You can think of healthcare administration as the process of managing and handling every aspect of the business side of delivering healthcare services.

Today a modern hospital has just not the doctor and nurses alone but a large contingent of administrative support staff. In any large corporate hospital, the medical staff comprising of doctor and nurse v/s the support staff runs into a ratio of 6:4. That means almost half portion of the staff in any modern corporate hospital system would be support staff comprising of Admin, HR, Patient Relations, Accounts, Record maintenance etc. The success of a large modern hospital today to a very large extent depends upon the quality and effectiveness of its non-clinical support staff, who works as an interface between doctor and patient, patient and nurse, and between doctor and nurse within the hospital.
