“Something people often don’t know about being a leader in healthcare administration is the need for adaptability in an environment resistant to change. You must be flexible enough to shift priorities quickly in response to new regulations or policies impacting healthcare while simultaneously upholding best practices and leveraging essential, unchanging skills to achieve better outcomes.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

– Laurie L. Shanderson, PhD, President and CEO of Accreditation Insights

Healthcare administration is one of the fastest-growing fields in the United States. With a large aging population and increased access to healthcare with the Affordable Healthcare Act’s implementation, the healthcare administration field is predicted to proliferate in the next ten years. This unique discipline blends health policy, business, and science fields. Professionals in the field allow institutions to provide high-quality patient care by coordinating the healthcare practitioners and the support staff behind operational roles in medical facilities.

With a degree in healthcare administration, graduates can choose to specialize and contribute to daily operations work in healthcare facilities such as medical and research hospitals, laboratories, government agencies, healthcare supplies, insurance, and medical clinics. While most people in healthcare administration have a bachelor’s degree and some previous administrative experience, many students are choosing to earn a master’s degree to prime themselves for management experience and earn higher salaries.

In the quickly expanding field of healthcare administration, there are several professional career paths available for graduates. Some of these careers include titles such as clinical manager, nursing home administrator, medical office manager, hospital information manager, and hospital administrator. Certification is also offered through a variety of professional associations, such as the American College of Healthcare Executives, the American Association of Healthcare Administrative Management, and the Health Care Administrators Association.

Accredited schools offering degrees in healthcare administration typically offer several professional specializations. While the areas of specialization vary by school, some of the most popular areas of specialization in healthcare administration degree programs are as follows:

  • Strategic communications: Specialists in this field are responsible for clear communications between patients and providers, campaigns for patient education, preventative care, articles on health-related topics, and communications between healthcare professionals.
  • Operations management and supervision: Also called health administration generalists, professionals in this field manage the daily operations of healthcare facilities, providing oversight and direction to multiple departments and offering various solutions to problems to continue the delivery of quality care.
  • Healthcare informatics: This specialty, which focuses on the storage, retrieval, and processing of medical data, is highly in-demand due to the adoption of electronic healthcare records.
  • Project management: Specialists in this field oversee a wide variety of growth projects and talent acquisition within a healthcare facility.
  • Patient safety and quality: Specialists in this area focus on compliance, analysis, and development of healthcare policies and assess the patient experience to inform future policy change.
  • Organizational leadership: A specialization often pursued by people who want to advance their careers in upper management, specialists in this field make decisions regarding cost-cutting, new program implementation, employee training with the end goal of making a more efficient and effective healthcare organizations.

MedicalTechnologySchools.com: What is something people don’t know about being a leader in healthcare administration?

Dr. Shanderson: Something people often don’t know about being a leader in healthcare administration is the need for adaptability in an environment resistant to change. You must be flexible enough to shift priorities quickly in response to new regulations or policies impacting healthcare while simultaneously upholding best practices and leveraging essential, unchanging skills to achieve better outcomes.

Additionally, people may need to realize that a significant part of their role involves working closely with individuals, requiring strong interpersonal skills and the ability to navigate complex human dynamics effectively.

Admissions Requirements for Healthcare Administration Programs

Every school has its own unique admissions requirements. Here’s a list of commonly requested items to provide when applying to a healthcare administration program at any level:

  • Grade point average (GPA) on a four-point scale from an accredited high school, college, or university (GPA minimums vary for each school)
  • SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, or MCAT standardized test scores
  • Two or three letters of recommendation
  • Statement of purpose, interests, and career goals
  • Resume or curriculum vitae including education and experience
  • Application and fee

For non-native English speaking applicants, most programs have additional requirements:

  • Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or International English Language Testing System (IELTS) scores (test score requirements vary for each school)

For applicants who have earned degrees outside of the United States, many schools require a course-by-course transcript evaluation of all international degrees. World Education Services (WES) is the preferred provider for most schools.

Healthcare Administration Program Accreditation

Accreditation is a quality standard of educational evaluation used to regularly assess the quality of an academic institution. Students and employers benefit from accreditation in that they can trust the quality of education being delivered has been vetted by an authoritative outside organization.

Additionally, students can only qualify for federal education grants and loans if they attend accredited educational institutions. Accreditation committees are made up of faculty from other accredited colleges and universities. Typical areas of criteria for evaluation an educational institution include:

  • Objectives and goals
  • Overall mission of the school
  • Quality of education or facilities
  • Reputation of the school
  • Student requirements for admission
  • Services available to students
  • Student outcomes
  • Institutional or programmatic management of finances

The Council for Accreditation of Higher Education (CHEA) is the main authority which endorses programmatic and institutional accrediting organizations. There are two main entities which accredit healthcare administration programs:

  • Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Management Education (CAHME)
  • Commission on Accreditation for Health Informatics and Information Management Education (CAHIIM)

The majority of the schools featured here have achieved regional accreditation from one of these highly-regarded organizations:

  • Middle States Commission on Higher Education
  • New England Association of Schools and Colleges
  • Higher Learning Commission
  • Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities
  • Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
  • Western Association of Schools and Colleges

An 150-hour fieldwork internship is included in the curriculum and the global health specialization requires two ten-day trips abroad which focus on interactive and multicultural approaches to solving global health issues.
