Medical Administration refers to the roles within the healthcare industry which are primarily responsible for the efficient administrative operations of a medical facility. These roles can range from a variety of positions, but all contribute to the overall health and well-being of the patient and support for the medical staff. The field of medical administration encompasses both technical aspects of healthcare delivery management and the social and policy issues regarding access to healthcare.
With the advancement of technology, the field of medical administration has greatly improved. Once thought to be the “hidden” roles within the medical field because they were not in the forefront of activity, unlike doctors and nurses, these positions are vital to the efficient operation of medical offices, hospitals, and pharmacies. These support positions have helped to minimize and eliminate errors and provide accurate information to patients and medical personnel.
