New realities are placing pressures on the healthcare industry, and how patient care is delivered. Rising hospital management costs, an aging population, shortage of healthcare workers, challenges in accessing services, timely availability of information, issues of safety and quality, and rising consumerism have all added to the highly complex facts of today’s healthcare system. The dynamics between patients, doctors and hospitals is changing with improved personal income, and the value of a patient’s life is multiplied leading to more aggressive approach to saving crushed lives by hospitals as expected by patients and kin. The industry has reached a point of chasm, where they need to decide how services could be delivered more effectively to reduce costs, improve quality, and extend reach to the community. The recent decision allowing the entry of private agencies in health insurance is an important step taken by the government to reach out to the vast majority of people who are without any insurance coverage. The corporate hospitals and other agencies will play an important role in the current scenario.

The critical questions facing the industry today include: how can we effectively manage hospitals and provide enhanced services without placing additional burden on a system already pushed to its limits; how can we provide care in a cost-efficient manner at a time when healthcare spending is rising; and how do we most efficiently use our resources and support front-line staff in order to reduce medical errors and enhance quality of care.

To address these issues, there is a need for a properly trained pool of hospital administrators who can design and deliver quality health services. Today the success of a hospital administrator lies in multidisciplinary conceptual skill development and to protect medical profession and clients from unnecessary litigation; human resource development; quality management, risk management; environment conservation; marketing, logistic, emergency management etc. Their responsibilities are numerous & require the assistance of the medical & supporting staff. They act as liaisons between governing boards, medical staff & department heads & integrates the activities of all departments.

Following policies set by a governing board of trustees, administrators plan, organize, and direct control & coordinates medical & health services to cater to the needs of the hospital & community. The concept of development of specialized skills and leadership in hospital administration has further emphasized the need to rationalize the resource utilization and to maximize output in health sector. Therefore, the hospital administrator of the future needs to be well equipped to meet the challenges and this can be effectively performed if he possesses a master’s degree in health service administration. National accreditation board for hospitals and Health care providers has laid down standards that make hospital patient staff and environment friendly. NABH standards also states that hospital administrator should be qualified in hospital management / administration. He should have a master’s degree in health service administration.
