Role of the Health Care Administrator Presentation Introduction By now you know that administrative responsibilities in health care facilities are managed by professionals who oversee medical facility processes, have in-depth knowledge of regulatory requirements, and have a thorough understanding of the complexities involved in patient care.

Follow the content outline below and use speaker notes to cover the required topics listed here: Provide an overview of the political, legal, and ethical aspects specific to the health care administrator’s role (2–3 slides). Summarize how the different aspects identified in 1., above, overlap and interface (1–2 slides). Provide three examples of the duties and responsibilities involved in health care administration, such as risk management, policy and procedure, regulatory compliance, ethics board, compliance officer, et cetera (2–3 slides).
