Administrators and Information Managers Overview
The people in this group are not involved in hands-on patient care but provide critical resources to ensure the smooth operation of the health care team. Some have responsibility for the overall operation of a hospital or institution (Hospital Executives), some provide or process the gamut of information necessary to ensure efficient and safe patient management (Medical Librarians, Health Information and Management Professionals, Ward Clerks), and others ensure the security of the physical facility (Hospital Security Officers) or work to minimize the liability of the institution (Risk Managers). Depending on their discipline, they may have a range of administrative or technical degrees and training.
