The nation’s growing elderly population, Medicare/Medicaid expansion and the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) are chief among the factors contributing to the biggest period of growth the U.S. healthcare sector has ever experienced. The convergence of these factors has seen millions of older Americans seeking more screenings, preventative health services and medical interventions, while at the same time millions more are enjoying access to health coverage for the first time in their lives. As billions of federal dollars and funding from state sources is used to expand Medicare/Medicaid and implement the ACA, public and private health systems have likewise been expanding facilities and increasing staff to accommodate a growing number of patients.
Amidst this unprecedented expansion, the demand for skilled health administrators capable of effectively marshalling fiscal and human resources has never been more acute.
