JOB AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR MEDICAL AND HEALTH SERVICE MANAGERS

Because of a growing health services industry, the employment of health services and medical managers is projected to expand more than the average occupation through 2012. Increasing opportunities will be found in outpatient care centers, health practitioners and doctor’s offices, and in home healthcare services. Workers with good management and business skills and experience in the healthcare industry will have the greatest opportunities.

Jobs for health services and medical managers in hospitals are expected to increase at a slower rate than in other areas due to hospitals focusing on alternate care sites and to more constrained budgets; however, hospitals will still employ the highest number of health services and medical managers. The best job opportunities in hospitals will go to those managers with large facility experience. Because many hospital services are moving offsite due to improving technologies, employment is growing fastest in home healthcare agencies and in practitioners’ offices. Specialized experience in a field will provide managers with increased opportunities. Managers working in these areas will be presented with an increased focus on preventative care, financial accountability, pressures of cost containment, and will focus on improving community health.

Healthcare management companies provide hospitals and organizations, and specific departments (physician recruiting, emergency, managed care contract negotiations, and information management systems) with various management services. Health services and medical managers will have employment opportunities with these companies.

Medical practice management is a relatively new field. Long ago managers were not used in medicine. Doctors generally worked as independent entities, running their practices as they deemed best. The advent of government-mandated health care regulations initiated a change in how doctors worked. Suddenly, their methods and actions needed to be accounted for. The introduction of insurance companies and government-funded Medicare and Medicaid programs further complicated the delivery of health care. Paperwork became a huge part of the job and doctors increasingly found themselves spending more time on filling out forms than on actual patient care. Moreover, many doctors found themselves bewildered by the processes and policies. Medical schools did not provide any training in these matters and most doctors were ill-equipped to take them on. More and more medical practitioners began hiring someone to handle these responsibilities so they could get back to doing what they were trained to do. Over time the role has grown and expanded to take on all aspects of running a medical practice (outside of treating patients) to become what we know of today as medical practice management.
