Hospital management

Hospitals and other health care facilities are under high cost pressure. Municipal institutions are often in the red, privatized providers are criticized for their tough management. Anyone who takes on managerial responsibility as a doctor or business economist in a hospital should therefore have expertise in business administration and healthcare.

The healthcare industry is a growth industry and an industry that has to undergo constant changes and ever new requirements. Last but not least, the demographic change is partly responsible for the new demands placed on hospitals, health insurance companies and medical and health practices . Hospitals in particular are now understood to be service companies that want to satisfy “customers”, i.e. patients, on the one hand and want to make economic progress on the other hand in order to stand out from the competition.

Added to this is the rapid development of medical technologies and medicine itself , which are putting hospitals under pressure to stay up to date.

In order to combine all of these factors, specialists are required who both think and act economically and have the medical expertise to understand new developments, assess their benefits and use them in the best possible way for the company.
