Course description:
The Hospital Manager of the 21st century is considered to be one of the most important member of the healthcare team. Although it is a pioneer course in the Philippines, it is widely accepted among a large number of hospital owners/administrators that there is a great need for this course as the healthcare industry continues to expand and offers a wide variety of interesting and challenging opportunities to graduates of this program. Graduates of this course are in great demand in private physician's offices; medical and surgical clinics; medical centers/hospitals; private care facilities; insurance companies; health maintenance organizations (HMOs); medical laboratories; and retirement homes/home for the aged and orphanages.

Today's Hospital Managers will often be required to perform various administrative tasks. The course is designed to provide students with comprehensive training in the different settings in the hospital, as well as many other functions. They may serve in the information center of the hospital, facilitating information to the public, organizing and maintaining paper and electronic files, managing projects, analyzing spreadsheets, producing correspondence, and providing overall back up for the Hospital Administrator. They use computers to run spreadsheets, work processing, and database management. They can also handle medical record keeping/filing, medical billing and encoding, which ensures the efficiency and continuation of the business of the hospital.

Under a general Hospital Administrator, graduates will be middle level office managers designated to handle the process in the functioning of their areas of responsibility in the hospital. They will be tasked to manage a number of departments in the hospital at one given time, which aims to decentralize authority, increase employee involvement at lower levels of the organization, restructure decision-making process, and encourage more innovative and forward thinking.

Job Outlook

Healthcare is one of the fastest growing fields in the country, offering outstanding career opportunities for the trained professionals. The healthcare industry is expected to increase significantly within the next several years as the health services industry expands due to technological advances in medicine and a growing and aging population. Employment growth will also be driven by the increase in the number of group practices, clinics, and other healthcare facilities that needs a high proportion of support personnel, particularly the Hospital Manager who can handle administrative duties.

This entry-level occupation provides basic training and experience and serves as a stepping stone to a more highly sensitive position like Hospital Administrator, following a post-graduate master's course.
