The management team-members must be able to ensure the efficient management of an establishment whose activity never ceases, and depends on the personnel present as well as on the equipment, all of which is framed by strict health and safety regulations. The well-being, health and even the life of the people under care are the entire responsibility of the good management of the establishment.
The missions are therefore diverse :
The constant transformation of healthcare systems and care methods, as well as new developments in terms of care and medical services, are all part of the constant monitoring required of managers, along with the monitoring of safety standards.
With a great capacity for management and organization, the healthcare manager must also have a good sense of priorities, and always link these trade-offs to the human dimension by taking into account the well-being of both staff and patients.
In order to keep up with the perpetual evolution of the health sector, the management manager must, in addition to a broad general culture, be able to react quickly and implement new strategies in order to develop the capacities of his establishment according to the needs. He/she must also be open to the various innovations in the field and continuously propose evolutions and development paths.
Health care institutions are constantly undergoing in-depth reform and implementing new ways of operating.These changes in systems, both organizational and human, have a direct effect on the health of staff, whose professional stress increases and sometimes leads to cases of exhaustion and burn-out. The healthcare manager must be able to listen and take into consideration the difficulties of both staff and patients under their care.
The increasing demand for care due to therapeutic innovations, the aging of the population and chronic diseases, logically increases the need for managers of health care institutions. The diversity of specialties in these structures offers many opportunities depending on the profiles.
