A large number of private hospitals and clinics have come up all over the country. With increasing emphasis on quality of health care and patient satisfaction there is a tremendous need for persons with a professional qualification in Hospital Management.

Hospital Management is a new concept in management stream. Gone are the days when a senior doctor would generally be responsible for the role of a hospital manager. But in today’s era of specialization, the term hospital has undergone sea- changes and many categories related to medical sciences and hospitals have been revamped completely. We have ordinary hospitals, specialty hospitals and even super specialty hospitals depending upon the kinds of services they render to the public and the number of people they cater to.

As a Hospital Administrator, one has to be responsible for the overall organization and management of the hospital to ensure its smooth functioning with the objective of ensuring the complete satisfaction of the patient. One has to coordinate between the various departments of the hospital, ensure that all the equipment is functional, that there is a smooth flow of medical supplies and above all the required standards of cleanliness are maintained. Besides, one deals with the employees and financial matters. The emphasis is on quality, efficiency and cost containment. The challenge is to deliver the highest quality care at the lowest cost.
