For example, they deal with planning, marketing, human resources, finance, and government regulations. Large facilities usually have assistant administrators. For example, assistants may direct medical areas such as nursing, therapy, food service, or medical records. Some assistants work in areas that are not related to medicine. These areas are finance, housekeeping, human resources, and information management.
Clinical managers have more specific responsibilities than other administrators.
While the CEO has broad knowledge, clinical managers have specific knowledge about their area of medicine. For example, directors of physical therapy are experienced physical therapists. Clinical managers make policies and procedures for their departments. They also evaluate workers and create reports and budgets. In group practices, where the doctors own the business, managers work closely with these doctors.
