ESSAY TITLE: Analyse the roles and responsibilities of managers in the healthcare context

Healthcare is an effort made for maintaining and restoring emotional, physical, and mental well-being by trained professionals as well as licensed professionals. A high-quality level of healthcare services helps in preventing diseases as well as improving one’s life quality. In other words, healthcare is the improvement and maintenance of health through treatment, prevention, and diagnosis which is delivered by associated health fields (Maugeri and Musumeci, 2021). The essential and integral responsibility of managers of healthcare is to foster the environment which can provide important as well as quality care of health at an utmost profit by determining all the budget orders as well as receiving supplies while administrating benefits along with payrolls and distributing regular communications. Healthcare management is a place for ensuring the operations in the entire sector of healthcare are maintained seamlessly. The healthcare consultant position is most mainly encountered in emergency rooms, and it entails reviewing and regulating the care delivered throughout their facility. A medical supervisor's responsibilities include developing patient care plans, verifying the treatment given, and ordering any basic equipment that is required. Their responsibilities include formulating organizational goals, establishing employee policies, and recruiting potential staff as needed.

Today every healthcare leader and manager face barriers and challenges but some key skills of management are required in the healthcare organization for protecting and saving the lives of the population. A healthcare manager in any organization relies on relationships with other people. Healthcare managers should be transparent and honest which helps in building trust as well as rapport for which they are accountable for making any policy. Since the industry of healthcare is challenging skills of management are fundamental in which adaptability is an essential skill which is required by healthcare manager in the organization who wants to maintain changing landscape and appropriate challenges (Radanovi? and Liki?, 2018). One of the primary functions of a healthcare manager is to supervise and execute all the duties very well by ensuring and informing all the operations in the organization to run smoothly. Working in the industry of healthcare managers should be quite different for solving new challenges and issues in a short period. Healthcare managers should also work rationally while developing an innovative solution that suits everyone in the organization. The far more severe financial issues facing medical administrators today, as per the respondents, are rising capital expenditures, rising employee costs, and sluggish and inadequate payment rates. Health systems are complicated and evolving in several situations and at the provision of health care. Those capabilities that health managers and leaders will need to respond to existing and forthcoming crises are not well recognized. The global health management workforce's current difficulties and emerging demands revolve around efficiency, innovation, and management of human resources. To fulfil these new priorities, health managers aim to diversify and increase. Today's health executives and administrators must have the ability to adjust to the changing scenario.

Management system in healthcare is the evolutionary and regulative procedure as well as economic cost analysis which tends to determine the regulation of body and health. The management system of healthcare traditionally plans, control, organize, coordinate and direct all the professionals as well as administrate function within the health service. Healthcare information is dynamic and complicated as well as knowledge is very constant, and the system of knowledge management tends to create a culture of in-progress collaboration along with innovation while putting all the emphasis on culture and engaging in education and continuous learning. Governments supervise to achieve crucial policy goals for their health systems, including universal access to health care, establishing social protection levels, encouraging efficient and equitable resource allocation, and guaranteeing compliance with international responsibilities. The use of laws and legal tools to affect behavioural change is the first dimension of the definition. The promulgation of the system by governments invariably involves the exercise of a government law-making power, so the first dimension of the classification relates to the use of laws and legal tools to affect behavioural transformation.

The role of legislation as well as regulation in the health care planning process, along with its significance shows how legislation can help a country's national relevant planning process by providing structure and regulations, as well as acting as a strategic tool and lever for enhancing health system performance. Work on law and other forms of regulation should not be viewed as a separate process, but rather as an integral part of a country's health policy dialogue involving stakeholders from the ministries of health, finance, and other departments, civil society, non-governmental organizations, aid organizations, academia, professional associations, and communities. When it comes to enforcing laws and regulations, the same approach should be adopted.

In today's complicated world, defining what a health service is, what it entails, and where it starts and ends can be tough. It means that the lines between the wellbeing systems aren't as clear as they should be. All activities aimed at promoting, restoring, and maintaining health are included in the health system. It indicates that the health system is a collection of interconnected factors that reduce inflammation in homes, schools, workplaces, public spaces, and communities, as well as in the physiological and cognitive environment and the health and related industries. Starting at the most peripheral level, often known as the community level or primary level of health care, and progressing via the intermediate to the central level, a health system is normally organized at multiple levels.

The intermediate and core levels of the health system are responsible for aspects of the system that provide increasingly complicated and specialized support and care. Services, facilities, institutions or enterprises, organizations, and people who operate them for the delivery of a variety of health services are all part of the health system infrastructure. All of the resources available to operate the healthcare system, including labor, facilities, equipment, supplies, funding, knowledge, and technology, are referred to as health resources. Government ministries and departments, organizations and services, social security and health insurance schemes, voluntary organizations, and private people and groups all provide health services in the health sector. Intersectional action is a type of collaboration in which the health sector and other relevant sectors work together to achieve a common goal. The health initiatives of many sectors should be tightly coordinated.

A variety of healthcare centers and organizations provides all the health service like a diagnosis of diseases, treatment, and surgical operations. The main function of the organization is continuum care such as financing, stewardship, resource development as well as provisions of different healthcare services. The role of managers is to keep all the relevant laws, standards along with technology in the external meetings like community forums which helps in determining all the needs of healthcare while conducting regular meetings with the patients, doctors along with vendors. The role and responsibilities of managers vary according to the title as well as functions of the facilities, they set procedures and objectives for the area of responsibilities with other chief administrators. Health managers of information help in ensuring that all the sensitive data is being safeguarded from unauthorized access as well as causal access by keeping all the relevant laws, standards along with technology which helps in representing the organization (Jabarulla and Lee, 2020). Stakeholders in the management of healthcare include patients, employees, doctors, employers, and government and share a familiar interest in its outcome and play an essential role in direction of healthcare by providing funding, strategic direction as well as solutions. Healthcare leaders should start by identifying that which of the department will going to be affected through the project as well as making sure all the departments are also well represented amongst all key stakeholders (Panda and Mohapatra, 2021).

Management in the healthcare industry is simply the accomplishment of all the things done by other people, which help in achieving intended goals. Thus, using management tools will help organizations to make relevant changes for improving the health of every patient in the community (Hirschi, Shockley and Zacher, 2019). Thus, management in the healthcare industry is a procedure of forecasting, planning, coordinating, organizing, controlling, and leading all the resources of the organization is very effective as well as an efficient pursuit for specified goals of the organization. There are 3 main concepts in the management of a healthcare organization which is equity, efficiency, and effectiveness which help in measuring how well your organization is meeting the goals and objectives. On the other hand, healthcare organization becomes effective when managers choose the right objectives as well as goals for making sure that their potential team achieves it, as managers' effectiveness involve doing all the right thing for moving healthcare organization closer to its goals. Monitoring as well as controlling helps in measuring the execution against set goals as well as standards by assessing the effectiveness and how well the healthcare objective has been achieved (Jamison et al., 2018).

The Healthcare system is a rapidly expanding field. Health care managers are responsible for overseeing entire healthcare systems, such as hospitals. There are differing viewpoints on how these healthcare systems should be run. The type of health care management theory a hospital or other health care facility subscribes to, as well as how well that theory is applied, determines its effectiveness. In the area of health care management, attribution theory is a method of evaluating a system's or program's successes and failures. One such health care management theory that can be used to create a safer environment for patients is attribution theory. The authors believe that attribution theory can be used as a conceptual framework to build a good and safe work environment for both health care staff and patients, even though it is not completely developed as a health care management theory (Hewett et al., 2018). According to attribution theory, better healthcare management can be achieved by recognizing that errors in healthcare can occur. When this happens, it can cause cynicism and "organizational inertia" in the healthcare system. Health care managers can learn to establish a positive work atmosphere that will improve employee response to healthcare errors by knowing where these feelings develop. Instead of focusing on what they haven't done well, health care providers should learn to acknowledge these blunders as "human" errors and focus on continuing to offer a pleasant atmosphere for patient rehabilitation. Healthcare reform is a third primary health theory that has seen more widespread use in the industry than attribution and evidence-based theories. Utilization management is a proactive method of healthcare management that follows pre-determined guidelines. The healthcare management then decides what targets to set and how to proceed with more study. Policies, rules, and procedures can be designed and applied after data has been collected and assessed (Meri et al., 2019).

To put it another way, healthcare is the process of improving and maintaining one's health through treatment, prevention, and diagnosis, all of which are provided by related health areas (Usak et al., 2020). Managers of healthcare have an important and integral responsibility to create an environment that allows them to provide important and high-quality health care at the lowest possible cost by determining all budget orders, receiving supplies, administering benefits, payrolls and dispensing proper communication. Thus, the role and responsibilities of managers in healthcare help in maintaining supervising all the operations in the organization to run smoothly.
