Description:

**Healthcare Environment and Management** is a multidisciplinary subject that explores the structure, dynamics, and management practices within the healthcare industry. It focuses on understanding how healthcare systems operate, the roles of hospitals, clinics, and healthcare professionals, and how policies, regulations, and technology influence healthcare delivery. This subject also covers the public and private healthcare sectors, patient care quality, health insurance systems, and the impact of socio-economic and environmental factors on health services. A deep understanding of the healthcare environment helps managers navigate complex regulatory requirements and ensure effective, ethical, and patient-centered care.

On the management side, the subject emphasizes strategic planning, human resource management in healthcare, financial management, hospital administration, and supply chain logistics. It prepares students to tackle real-world challenges such as resource allocation, crisis management (e.g., during pandemics), and improving healthcare accessibility and affordability. With rising demand for healthcare services and a shift towards digital health solutions, this subject also explores innovations like telemedicine, electronic health records, and AI in diagnostics. It is ideal for those pursuing careers in hospital management, health policy, public health, or healthcare consulting, where efficient administration can directly impact patient outcomes and organizational success.
