What are healthcare service jobs?

Answer 1

Healthcare service jobs are any career in the medical field that involves care for patients, management of hopsitals, medications, and insurance. Some examples of healthcare service jobs are: physician, nurse, physician assistant, pharmacist, physical therapist, nurse assistant, pharmacy technician, radiologist, X-ray technician, dietitian, speech therapist, hospital administration, human resources, food service industry etc. It can also include jobs and careers that do not involve medical interactions with the patient. It may be something like medical transcription, medical billing and medical coding.

1. Chief of Staff

2.Department Head[i.e., head of Pediatrics, orthopedics,neo-naatology, surgery etc]

7. Rehabilitation and Occupational Therapists

8. Maintenance: Just like housekeeping. Don't underestimate their importance.

9.Hospital Security. Their presence is more important than you think. Someday your life may depend on them as easily as your Doctor.

All staff must work together to provide a safe ,comfortable patient experience with the best outcome. I don't know exactly where to put Chaplains, volunteers etc., and if I left anyone out, please feel free to edit. All hospital work is a collaborative effort. Nowadays, there are also additional careers in the field that helps make the healthcare system better. They may include medical transcriptionists, billers and coders, pharmacy technicians, and many more.
