00:01:29
my returning subscribers
00:01:31
hey how you doing i'm doing good thanks
00:01:34
for asking
00:01:35
when discussing healthcare we always
00:01:37
hear about the clinical side of things
00:01:39
we always care about doctors and nurses
00:01:41
but we
00:01:42
never hear about everything that happens
00:01:44
behind the scenes
00:01:46
like who's running these healthcare
00:01:47
businesses considering the healthcare
00:01:49
administration field is a rapidly
00:01:51
growing field
00:01:52
and is projected to grow by 30 within
00:01:54
the next 10 years
00:01:55
people rarely talk about it and when
00:01:57
they do they really only talk about
00:01:59
medical billing and coding i'm here
00:02:02
to share four healthcare administration
00:02:04
career options that not many people talk
00:02:06
about
00:02:07
the first career option is hospital
00:02:09
administration and management
00:02:10
this career option is actually kind of
00:02:13
popular
00:02:14
but i don't think it gets the shine that
00:02:16
it deserves i'm also going to bucket
00:02:18
practice administration and practice
00:02:20
management under this career option
00:02:22
because they pretty much all do the same
00:02:23
thing it's just that practice managers
00:02:26
are working in smaller medical practices
00:02:28
while hospital administrators are
00:02:31
working in hospitals but they are all
00:02:34
doing the same job function
00:02:36
hospital administrators are responsible
00:02:38
for the development
00:02:39
and implementation of programs and
00:02:41
policies that are related to the
00:02:42
day-to-day business operations of their
00:02:44
facilities
00:02:45
they are also responsible for managing
00:02:47
teams department budgets as well
00:02:50
as strategic planning these roles are
00:02:52
very demanding and require a lot
00:02:55
i remember when i was a practice manager
00:02:57
i would work anywhere from 50 to 70
00:02:59
hours per week and i
00:03:00
still felt like my job was never done
00:03:02
there was always something to do
00:03:04
ongoing learning is imperative to keep
00:03:06
up with as you know
00:03:08
healthcare is mandated by the government
00:03:10
and they always be changing stuff
00:03:12
for our own good though but staying
00:03:14
abreast of all the regulatory changes
00:03:16
is a must the minimum education
00:03:18
requirements for these types of roles
00:03:20
are typically a bachelor's in business
00:03:22
health care administration or accounting
00:03:25
and for c level positions you may be
00:03:27
required to get a master's in business
00:03:29
administration or a master's in health
00:03:31
administration
00:03:32
and side note some ceos of hospitals are
00:03:36
required to be mds as well
00:03:38
so just a side note something to think
00:03:40
about a few job title examples would be
00:03:42
a nursing home administrator
00:03:44
a ceo cfo you can also find jobs in
00:03:48
hospital administration under quality
00:03:50
assurance legal
00:03:51
communication and public health there
00:03:53
are a plethora of options
00:03:55
salaries vary for this career option
00:03:58
practice administrators working for
00:03:59
small to medium-sized practices can
00:04:02
expect a base salary of fifty thousand
00:04:04
to seventy thousand dollars
00:04:06
on the other hand hospital
00:04:08
administrators can expect a salary of
00:04:10
a hundred and twenty thousand dollars up
00:04:12
to three hundred thousand dollars
00:04:14
the next career option is health
00:04:16
information technology
00:04:17
and health information management yes i
00:04:20
bucketed these two together
00:04:22
really i could have separated them but i
00:04:24
put them together
00:04:26
health information technology is the
00:04:27
digital systems that collect
00:04:29
and organize health information health
00:04:32
information management incorporates the
00:04:34
data that goes into those systems but
00:04:36
also analyzes and protects the data
00:04:39
being able to utilize these digital
00:04:41
systems to compile healthcare data
00:04:43
is extremely important because
00:04:45
healthcare data is utilized to make
00:04:47
clinical and healthcare business
00:04:49
decisions before i jump into the
00:04:51
education requirements and the different
00:04:53
types of jobs that you can get in the
00:04:54
healthcare information
00:04:56
management or healthcare information
00:04:58
technology field
00:04:59
i want to talk quickly about electronic
00:05:01
medical records software
00:05:03
electronic medical records software is
00:05:05
the perfect example of how health
00:05:07
information management
00:05:08
and health information technology
00:05:10
collides so you may be asking what is
00:05:12
electronic medical record software
00:05:14
electronic medical records software or
00:05:17
emr
00:05:18
is a software where a collection of a
00:05:20
person's medical records are stored
00:05:22
the demographic information like their
00:05:24
name date of birth address
00:05:25
and insurance information are housed in
00:05:28
this software
00:05:29
and their encounter notes from their
00:05:31
visit with their doctor like their
00:05:32
diagnosis codes their cpt codes or
00:05:35
current procedural technology codes
00:05:37
as well as all of their notes from their
00:05:39
visit are stored
00:05:40
in this system as well i think emrs is
00:05:44
the perfect example of showing how
00:05:46
health information management and health
00:05:48
information technology collides because
00:05:50
those professionals who work in
00:05:52
healthcare information technology
00:05:54
are typically the ones who are building
00:05:55
and programming these emr systems
00:05:58
and the health information management
00:05:59
professionals are the ones who are
00:06:01
pulling the data
00:06:02
out of these emr systems to do data
00:06:05
analysis
00:06:06
the minimum education for this career
00:06:08
option is typically a bachelor's in
00:06:10
health informatics or computer science
00:06:12
and for some health information
00:06:14
management roles you may be required to
00:06:16
get your ria certificate
00:06:17
and ria stands for registered health
00:06:20
information administrator the types of
00:06:21
jobs that you could find in healthcare
00:06:23
it
00:06:24
are jobs like emr integrations manager
00:06:27
implementation manager
00:06:28
product manager hospital network and
00:06:30
systems engineer
00:06:32
and two examples of types of jobs that
00:06:34
you can find as a health information
00:06:36
manager would be
00:06:37
a hymn director or a health information
00:06:39
data analyst
00:06:40
the starting base salaries for both
00:06:42
health information management and health
00:06:44
it
00:06:45
are very similar you can expect a
00:06:47
starting base salary of about sixty five
00:06:49
thousand dollars
00:06:50
and it can go up to a hundred and thirty
00:06:52
thousand dollars plus
00:06:54
based on the position and experience the
00:06:57
third career option is
00:06:58
revenue cycle management revenue cycle
00:07:01
management is the process used by health
00:07:03
care systems in the united states
00:07:05
and all over the world to track their
00:07:07
revenue from patients
00:07:08
from their initial appointment or
00:07:09
encounter with the health care system
00:07:11
to their final payment of balance so
00:07:14
basically
00:07:14
the revenue cycle management process
00:07:16
starts whenever the patient
00:07:17
makes their appointment to see their
00:07:19
doctor and it ends when the patient
00:07:22
or the patient's insurance makes the
00:07:23
final payment on the balance and the
00:07:25
