Health services managers typically:

• Work to improve efficiency and quality in delivering healthcare services
• Keep up to date on new laws and regulations so the facility complies with them
• Supervise assistant administrators in facilities that are large enough to need them
• Manage finances of the facility, such as patient fees and billing
• Create work schedules
• Represent the facility at investor meetings or on governing boards
• Keep and organize records of the facility’s services, such as the number of inpatient beds used
• Communicate with members of the medical staff and department heads.

In group medical practices, managers work closely with physicians, nurses, laboratory technicians, and other healthcare employees.
