Healthcare Management Resources
Throughout health care there are numerous jobs that are listed and available in healthcare involving administrative and management job opportunities. An article by (“Columbia Southern University, 2019”). This article elaborates on the growth of health care and essential skills that will be used in this profession. The health care field is a broad industry, and it’s growing larger by the day. In addition to medical professionals, hospitals and other organizations require skilled employees in many other areas. Focusing on specific areas of health care administration is an excellent way to develop desirable skills and potentially earn more income. Attention to detail, business acumen, confidentiality and communication skills are helpful when it comes to decision making and strategic thinking. Additionally, public speaking skills are valuable for a health care administrator asked to represent a company in public settings.
Job Opportunities
Hospital Admin and Management
Hospital administrators, have the knowledge and skills to strategize and implement ideas into a working environment. As health care organizations and facilities continue to advance it is important for health care workers and administrators to adjust as well for the betterment of the organization or facility. Health care administration also encompasses leadership roles in patient care, quality assurance, legal, communication and public health, among others. Together, these administrative teams ensure that hospitals function efficiently and safely and are prepared to meet future challenges (“Columbia Southern University, 2019”).
Medical Staff Directors
Different in comparison to hospital administrators and management, medical staff directors are to normally handle and oversee the operations of a health care facility. This job position is needed to help ensure policy and procedure are being followed. Another important thing medical staff directors will also handle is to make sure all employees comply with regulatory and accreditation agency requirements in daily operations, and they implement changes as needed and evaluate practice performance. This typically involves coordinating peer reviews, proctoring and other competency assessment activities, and preparing and maintaining credentialing packets for new physicians and other privileged providers (“Columbia Southern University, 2019”).
Ambulatory Care
(“Columbia Southern University, 2019”). States that outpatient clinics and surgery centers, to urgent care and small-provider practices, ambulatory care directors oversee the day-to-day operations, developing and implementing standards and guidelines for the services and programs. Often considered part of a hospital’s leadership team, ambulatory care directors develop budgets, oversee subordinate leaders and reams, and contribute to strategic planning and decision-making from the perspective of the ambulatory services department. Ambulatory care is extremely important to health care as it helps provide many levels of care such as preventive care, acute care, chronic disease management, diagnostic services, and minor surgical procedures (“Ambula Health, 2023”).  There service is to help benefit the community. While improving access to care and cheaper healthcare coast to better assist patients effectively, one of the biggest progressions through ambulatory care was that it also helps reduce the burden on hospital emergency departments by providing more appropriate care for patients with minor acute illnesses or injuries (“Ambula Health, 2023”). For example, ambulatory care would consist of things like health clinics, urgent care facilities, treatment centers outpatient surgery, and even dialysis facilities.
 However, these are just a few of many job opportunities that are available through health care that are normally available to the public. These organizations are interrelated because employees in the health care field all strive to reach a common goal. Which is to help deliver patient care and help better and maintain their health. Now health care organizations are trying to work hand and hand to help capture outpatient markets, increase revenues and margin, improve care processes and outcomes, increase the loyalty of their physicians, bolster physicians’ practices and incomes and help address weaknesses in existing hospital medical staff as mentioned by (“National Library of Medicine”, 2023).
 These organizations help offer direct care facilities the tools that are needed to assist individuals/patients that are in need. As direct care is essential because they can devote time directly with the patient. They are the eyes and ears of the professional staff who may only have moments in time with the patient. Direct care workers can provide vital information to their care team (Gina Costa, n.d). These workers will need guidance and leadership, leadership is important to the success of any organization. These organizations can help ensure healthy work environments that strive under following policy and procedures.

Job Opportunities 
The job opportunities associated with many of these facilities relate to public policy or government officials relating to progress for healthcare. There are many job opportunities that want research about how healthcare policy is affecting healthcare’s workflow and satisfaction rates. There were also many jobs regarding technology in the healthcare field. The integration of technology into this field gives the next generation coming into the workforce a large advantage as we grew up with technology and often are proficient in it. There were a wide variety of job opportunities with different focuses that it would be easy to find an aspect of healthcare management with a focus on something you are passionate about and work in that field. 
Organizations Interrelatedness
These organizations are all focused on making healthcare better for everyone involved. These organizations strive to make the patient’s experience better but also to make it easier for different healthcare departments to work together to care for the patient in a more efficient and effective way. Many of these organizations serve as a source of resources for healthcare administrators in their different capacities. For example, the Joint Commission “aims to avoid medical errors and non-compliance in healthcare organizations by evaluating other factors that could affect patient safety and care” (Wadhwa & Boehning, 2023). They are the safeguards to keep healthcare up to a certain standard to ensure patients are being properly cared for. In contrast, the American College of Health Care Administrators (ACHA) is a resource for healthcare administrative professionals to connect, post open jobs, and overall support each other in the expansion of our field. They have many resources for members to advance their careers and receive support from link-minded professionals (ACHA.orgLinks to an external site.). These organizations perform many different duties and responsibilities to assist the profession of healthcare management, but they are all focused on helping the patient. In Hebrews 13, it says, “and do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased” (English Standard Version Bible, 1769/2017, Hebrews 13:16). 
Support from the organizations
These organizations offer a wide variety of resources to direct care facilities. This support comes in many varieties. Some of them support the manager, as a professional and in turn positively effect the organization. Some set the standards that healthcare workers must abide by, ensuring there is a standard of care maintained for the patient. Some of these organizations spend a majority of their time in Washington DC working on public policy regarding healthcare and fighting for legislation that will further enhance the healthcare field. Many of these organizations have been around for a long time striving to fight for the better care of patients but also striving to aid healthcare managers in their work. The resources that these organizations put out are highly regarded by hospital management and can help initiate changes for a healthcare system. There are five consistent necessities for a healthcare employee to thrive at work and these organizations can assist in providing healthcare systems with resources to ensure these five necessities are being met. The five traits are: empowerment, mood of the organization/leadership, enabling environment, togetherness, and leaders’ connectivity (Moloney et al., 2020). With the decrease in physical resources and the push to achieve more with less, these organizations and their resources will become increasingly important to our field. An integrated and collaborative approach will help the entire industry be more successful. 
Joint Commission Hospital Consultant
A position I am interested in is a hospital consultant for the Joint Commission. This is a regional job for the southwestern united states. The individual in this role “acts as a liaison between health care organizations and Joint Commission and ensure that customer inquiries are answered timely and appropriately” (https://careers-jointcommission.icims.comLinks to an external site.). The Joint Commission, interestingly enough, has a section on their job postings listed ‘knowledge, skills, and abilities required’. The first thing on this list is a master’s degree in health care or a related field. The second requirement is ten years of healthcare experience, preferably seven or more years with management experience within healthcare. This is to ensure there is a working knowledge of current healthcare practice and administrative tasks such as sales, marketing and financial management like budgeting and profits and loss statements. The Joint Commission also wants prior experience as a surveyor so the individual in this role has a diverse understanding of the standards and surveying process conducted by the Joint Commission. This ensure the hospital consultant can be a great, well-informed resource for hospitals requesting these services. They would like six months of surveyor experience for this role. The next three abilities they are requiring for this job have to do with communication and effectively getting information and knowledge presented to another party. The first skill is communication skills involved in leadership, teaching, and public speaking environments. This establishes this person as a credible source of information who can exude confidence and present information clearly. The second skill has to do with written and verbal communication to a wide variety of audiences of different sizes but also with different knowledge levels and ensure that everyone is coming to a full understanding. The person in this role will be responsible for presenting Joint Commission standards and initiatives as well as techniques to maintain compliance to many different organizations. The third skill also has to do with the ability to communicate with different people but puts a large emphasis on maintaining interpersonal relationships and creating rapport with the healthcare organizations in their region. The last three abilities in the job posting are largely just technicalities to ensure a person is capable of performing this job. The person needs to be proficient in computers and able to perform daily tasks using a computer. This individual will also be expected to travel up to 90% of the time between the different organizations in their region. They will need to be present on site at these organizations to do their intended job. Lastly, the person must be able to drive a car and able to drive in all kinds of inclement weather. All of these knowledge, skills, and abilities will make an individual very successful in the role of a hospital consultant for the Joint Commission. 
Conclusion
There are many organizations that facilitate the success of healthcare administrators at all levels. They strive to better patient care by providing resources and support to healthcare managers in all types of healthcare organizations. We are called by the Lord to help those in need. In Provers 11, it says, “whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered” (English Standard Version Bible, 1769/2017, Proverbs 11:25). As we take care of others, the Lord will also take care of us.

Certain population groups in the Unite

Certain population groups in the United States either face greater barriers than the general population in accessing timely and needed healthcare services or have special health-related issues that may go unaddressed. Members of these groups, who face a greater risk of poor physical, psychological, and social health (Aday, 1994), may be referred to as underserved populations, medically underserved, medically disadvantaged, underprivileged, or vulnerable populations; marginalized groups; or American underclasses (Shi & Singh, 2019). The United States has many different population groups, but specific groups do face more problems than others, African Americans and Hispanics are two very underserved and vulnerable populations. These groups of people can have predisposing characteristics that lead to vulnerability. Attributes predisposing individuals to vulnerability include demographic characteristics, belief systems, and social structure variables. These attributes are associated with social position, access to resources, health behaviors, and variations in health status, which individuals have relatively little control over (Shi & Singh, 2019). 
African Americans face various amount of health disparities such as higher rates of premature death, shorter life expectancy than white Americans, more likely to be economically challenged than white Americans, more likely than whites to have poor or fair health status, black males are more likely to smoke cigarettes than whites. African Americans also experienced, more than double the infant mortality rate compared to non-Hispanic white women in both 2005 and 2008 ( CDC, 2013 ), 665% higher homicide rates compared to non-Hispanic whites ( CDC, 2013 ) and higher rates of premature death (death before age 75 years) from stroke and coronary heart disease than whites ( Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2013 ). Hispanic Americans also face disparities as well such as, AIDS is the leading cause of death, more likely to be uninsured or underinsured than whites, a higher proportion of Hispanics over 18 are more than likely to be obese than whites, a fourth of the families live below the poverty line, homicide is the second leading cause of death in males.
One of the most consistent findings across decades of research is that minorities have poor access to health services compared to their white counterparts, even after considering insurance, socioeconomic, and health status (Shi & Singh, 2019).  Based on significant amounts of research, various minority groups are more likely to have higher illness and mortality rates than white Americans. Disparities in health exist between white and nonwhite Americans in measures of perceived health status as well as in traditional indicators of health such as infant mortality rate, general population mortality rate, and birth weight (Shi & Singh, 2019). 
The United States population consists of various minority groups such as, white, black, or African American, Hispanic, or Latino, American Indian, or Alaska Native, Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Blacks, Hispanics, and some Asian populations, when compared with whites, appear to have lower levels of health insurance coverage, with Hispanics facing greater barriers to health insurance than any other group (Bulatao, 2004). Blacks and Hispanics are more likely to receive care in an emergency room and lack continuity of care. One factor that needs to be more consistently considered in studying racial and ethnic differences is the role of geography or residential area. Access to high-quality care varies considerably by area—by state, between rural and urban areas, as well as across smaller communities (Waidmann and Rajan, 2000; Wennberg and Cooper, 1999). Since racial and ethnic groups are unevenly distributed across communities, geographic variation in healthcare has the potential to explain some healthcare differences (Bulatao, 2004). Proverbs 22:2 reads, “Rich and poor have this in common: The Lord is the Maker of them all.” All minority groups deserve the best care, and the care shouldn’t be compromised because of various factors.

     There are many vulnerable populations in the United States in regard to health status. According to Shi & Signh (2023), “vulnerability denotes susceptibility to negative events that result in poor health or illness. Vulnerability is determined by a convergence of predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics” (p. 227). Two groups that experience vulnerability in this country are rural residents and the homeless population. “Homelessness is a more complex problem than the simple lack of a place to live. Homeless people (HP) often suffer from poor health and premature death due to their limited healthcare, and are deprived of basic human and social rights” (Artigas-Lelong et al., 2022, para.1). More than a quarter of the homeless population is made up of families with children. Additionally, “veterans account for approximately 8% of this population” (Shi & Singh, 2023, p. 235). Of course, a main concern for homeless individuals is the lack of a constant home, but the lack of health care, transportation, food, medication and medication safety, substance abuse, victimization, and environmental exposure are all additional stressors that contribute to the decreased life expectancy and quality of life for these individuals. The Coronavirus (COVID-19)  pandemic has been particularly dangerous for the homeless population. “The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to increased unemployment, poverty, and vulnerability in many people and these could contribute to an increased number of HP” (Artigas-Lelong et al., 2022, para.3).
     Rural residents in the United States are also vulnerable in many ways but specifically to health care access. Just as the homeless population experiences higher mortality and a shorter life expectancy, as does rural populations. Unfortunately, while rural geographic areas tend to have a higher need for health care services, they are experiencing a physician shortage at the same time. Even worse, not only is there a physician shortage, but many physicians are choosing to specialize now, so there are even less primary clinics available in these areas.
     Racial/ethnic minorities in the United States include “Black or African American (13.4%), Hispanic or Latino (18.5%), Asian (5.9%), Native American Indian or Alaska Native (1.3%)” (Shi & Signh, 2023, p. 229). These minority groups may experience a barrier to health care access and poor quality of the care that they do receive even with consideration to a socioeconomic status that would not be considered vulnerable. When comparing these racial/ethnic minority groups with Caucasion Americans, there is an abundance of health challenges that Caucasian Americans may not endure in regard to quality, access and cost. For instance, Black Americans have shorter life expectancies than their caucasian counterparts. Black Americans report fair to poor health status more often than Caucasian Americans. “Among individuals age 18 years or older, a higher proportion of Hispanics than Whites are overweight or obese” (Shi & Singh, 2023, p.230). 
     Racial minorities whose first language is not English experience a disadvantage to health care access and quality simply due to the inability of the provider to effectively communicate with the patients.  Additionally, in the realm of access, “Blacks, Latinos, American Indians, and some Asian groups generally have lower rates of cancer screening” (Fiscella & Sanders, 2016, p.380). Individual racism and implicit bias can affect minorities health care experience in a direct manner while receiving care, but equally important, it can make a profound impact on minority groups’ health care quality, access, and cost when it is interjected into a collective decision making circumstance such at the legislation level when implementing new policies or continuing unfair current policies.
     There were a plethora of Bible verses that I could have chosen for this week’s content, but I would like to reference Proverbs 22:9 with “The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor” (New International Version Bible, 2011). Enabling vulnerable communities to receive necessary health care is much like feeding a hungry person. Every human deserves to be blessed with basic necessities for living including food, water, shelter, and health care.

1.  As trends shift, funders or organizations have changed the terms they use to refer to people who receive their services. As we continue to explore the influence of managed care and for-profit corporate structure, people have concerns regarding terms that may be used to define their client population. 
The most commonly used terms are “clients,” “patients,” or “consumers.” In what way do these terms imply a different “mindset” about the people served?
Clients are relationships developed in a professional account. 
Patients are relationships established in the health and medical field. 
Consumers are relationships established by individuals who are the buyers.
The selection of vocabulary can impact the provider’s approach, the essence of the association, and the perceived role of the individual acquiring services. The transformation in phrasing may also reflect more all-around differences in societal perspectives, organizational networks, and the evolving interpretation of the role of individuals in their care. It is essential to be mindful of the representations used and evaluate how they may form perceptions and interactions in altering trends and structures in managed care and for-profit organizations.
2. Society labels many things today; Healthcare and the relationship between providers and those they care for has shifted. Some do not like to be tagged, and autonomy plays a significant part in how people make decisions without the control of outside influences. A Patient is associated with a medical term, a person receiving care from a doctor, psychologist, or health care professional. A consumer is defined as a person who purchases goods in addition to services for their personal use. A client is a person who utilizes a service or may receive professional advice from a person or company. While clients may purchase a professional service and consumers pay for goods, all three benefit. People may develop the mindset that consumers are people who have and spend money, while a client may be defined as someone who needs help or may require services. They all need assistance when referring to a patient, client, or consumer. Some may label the status higher when referring to a consumer vs. a client, a mindset people have developed in the human service profession. Many nonprofit organizations consider the clients, consumers, and patients to be intricate parts of an organization. It can only succeed when a nonprofit organization recognizes and respects all that play a significant role in its success. The resources received from consumers the clients within the community and the patients that may receive care, ensuring all needs are met and fulfilled, will help create a great non-profit organization. 
Question: What is your view on placing labels on those that are in need of care? Is it offensive if so please explain, if not please explain.

1.  Assume the role of the CEO/Executive Director of an agency that has lost a significant contract/grant, and you are expecting substantial budget cuts for the upcoming year. Provide three realistic options to consider when dealing with the budget deficit.
Facing a funding deficit after losing a significant contract or grant can be challenging, but strategic options exist. As the CEO/Executive Director of the agency, here are three realistic options:
Diversify Revenue Streams:

Explore alternative funding sources.
Develop fee-for-service programs
Strengthen fundraising efforts

Operational Efficiency and Cost Reduction:

Conduct a thorough budget review.
Prioritize programs
Implement cost-sharing initiatives

Strategic Restructuring:

Staffing adjustments
Program consolidation or elimination
Strategic partnerships or mergers

In enforcing any of these possibilities, communication is critical. Keep staff, investors, donors, and the community notified about the agency’s monetary challenges and the strategic measures to address them. Further, constant monitoring and transformation to altering circumstances will be critical for the long-term sustainability of the agency
2.  As CEO, laying off staff would be my very last resort. Reducing overspending without interfering with the organization’s needs may be one way to cut costs and identify ways to mitigate unnecessary spending within the organization.  Meeting with the organization’s team to explain what is going on and reducing hours may be an option to cut costs instead of layoffs; transparency with your team will build trust and help those within the organization understand why these changes occur—reducing overtime pay. Some companies even shut down at the end of the year to reduce costs. 
Establishing and setting realistic goals within an organization, especially when presenting a grant proposal. Creating a budget and being prepared is always essential. Lastly, borrowing from investors may help with costs until funding is available. Seeking help from state and government agencies may also help with budget cuts within the organization. As a CEO, the last thing I want to do is lay off staff, especially if I have a great team. Laying off is only sometimes the answer; that can lead to burnout on other team members, leading to an increase in employees leaving the organization. Research into these organizations and big companies that help nonprofit organizations can also be beneficial.
