Healthcare management is the administration and organisation of all aspects of healthcare systems, hospitals and hospital networks. Healthcare manager oversees all the elements of an organisation, including finance, budgeting, human resources, facility management, healthcare service quality, information management and technology. They are professionals who are not directly involved in patient care, but rather work in the business of healthcare by assisting the facility or organisation in running smooth.
