Today's nurses-perhaps more than other health care professionals-occupy a
unique and pivotal position in the constantly evolving environment of health
care management and delivery.
Students planning careers in nursing and health care management have a
variety of programs from which to choose. The dual Health Systems
Management/Clinical Specialist prepares the graduate to manage the entire
spectrum of patient care: design, change management, implementation and
evaluation. Managers and consultants work in a variety of settings such as
hospitals, nursing homes, primary care health centers, ambulatory centers,
rehabilitation facilities, integrated health systems and networks of managed
care.
