Degree Title:	Master of Science (MS) in Health Care Administration
College:	Independence University
Description:	As the health-care industry focuses more on keeping people healthy, the role of the health-care administrator is changing. Playing a leading role in the planning, organization and operation of hospitals, sub-acute units, nursing homes, clinics and other health-care facilities, the administrator sets the overall direction of the organization. Health-care administrators are responsible for quality health care as well as financial viability and cost-containment. Health-care administrators balance patient care issues such as access, quality, and choice with corporate and governmental issues including managed care and health-care reform. These key areas affect not only the quality of care, but also the cost to the public and private sectors. The Independence University Master of Science in Health Care Administration offers courses that give you the skills to administer and manage both community-based and facility-based programs. The graduate of this program may find an administrative position in a hospital, nursing home, long-term care facility, HMO, or in a community-based clinic.
