Discussion on Response to Christine Whislers
Response to Christine Whislers Discussion Post 1Hi Whisler,Thanks for sharing your view on the roles of health administrators. Your analysis is concise, and your focus on going directly and answering the question is exemplary. Healthcare administrators have crucial roles in improving the healthcare system in several ways. The roles of a healthcare administrator that you have explored have shown me that being a healthcare administrator can be an enriching profession. Your analysis has demonstrated tremendous opportunities to effect change in the healthcare system, from formulating health policies to establishing other significant health schemes.In addition, according to Selsor (2020), it is crucial to note that the primary purpose of healthcare administrators is to interpret policies and regulations as they are applied in the healthcare system. Selsor (2020) also avers that healthcare administrators research and assist in formulating and implementing procedures that facilitate hospital patient care. Therefore, healthcare administrators are responsible for keeping the healthcare organization compliant with policies as part of their duties.I have also noted that you mentioned in your post that health administrators could implement policies due to their expertise. It makes me want to know about their expertise; therefore, it could be better to mention what specific expertise. For example, you may say that their knowledge of business administration and operations makes them vital for policy implementation. This is because health administrators need a strong understanding of business principles to ensure that professionals implement the stipulated policies (Slyter, 2019). Also, your point in rulemaking is unclear. I am unable to understand where they are almost always invited. Could you kindly clarify?Thanks,
