DDHA 8011 Module 4 Discussion: Distinguishing Healthcare Administration from Other Health Fields

The United States’ healthcare system is a broad industry that includes many different professionals. In addition to doctors and nurses who provide primary care, there are also healthcare administrators, public health professionals, and allied health providers who help sustain the services needed by patients and general populations.

Healthcare administrators are among the most important professionals in the healthcare industry. Not only do they work directly with primary care providers to support patients, but they also run the administrative functions of many different locations. Many doctoral research topics for DHA students focus on areas such as public relations, health policy implementation, human resource management, or finance and occur in hospitals, clinics, health systems, insurance companies, and managed-care organizations.

As you further progress in creating your doctoral study topic, discerning between the disciplines, aims, areas of focus, and stakeholders and your site, it is important to take pause and ensure your topics are within alignment with the DHA program topics guide and outcomes. This Discussion spans a 2-week period. You will create an initial post based on a series of prompts, then respond to two colleagues. You will then create another larger post by responding to a new set of prompts and respond to another two colleagues.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Reflect on your career goals and research interests.
  • Consider the skills and experiences that are required for a successful interaction between interprofessional teams.
