Major changes have occurred in health care administration over the past decade and the trend appears to be continuing with increasing intensity and scope. The entire health care industry is undergoing major shifts in direction, which demand a workforce able to develop innovative methods for managing health care service delivery. Health Care Administration focuses on meeting these changes and preparing graduates for work in the health care delivery system. Graduates will be able to manage human, financial, legal, and organizational changes; manage areas of responsibility with an understanding of the complexity of the health care system, public health trends, and preventive health concepts; plan organizational systems to integrate with internal and external communities; communicate effectively with diverse groups; and use information technology to improve health care delivery.
