While health services management and health care management may seem similar, they focus on different aspects of the healthcare industry. 🔹 Health Services Management Focuses on the operational and administrative side of healthcare services. Manages specific departments or facilities like hospitals, clinics, or nursing homes. Oversees policy implementation, budgeting, and regulatory compliance at the service level. Example: A hospital department manager ensuring staff coordination and workflow efficiency. 🔹 Health Care Management Focuses on the broader leadership and strategic planning of healthcare organizations. Involves decision-making for overall healthcare systems, including policy development and resource allocation. Often includes roles in hospital administration, insurance companies, and government agencies. Example: A hospital CEO setting long-term goals for patient care improvement and financial sustainability. In short: Health Services Management is about day-to-day operations and department-level administration. Health Care Management is about higher-level strategy, policy-making, and overall healthcare system governance.
there isn't really a difference
"being healthy" is a general statement of health status. Disease is a specific instance of diagnosed illness. Technically, disease does not exist until it is diagnosed by a doctor, although it can be diagnosed 'after the fact'. Healthiness always exists, unless you are dead. Health is the super-set of all healthiness and illness. All disease is a subset of health. It is possible to be healthy and disease free. It is also possible to be healthy in many ways, and to have one or more diseases. A trivial example, if you are scratched by a cat, you might suffer a mild infection, but otherwise you are 'healthy'. Healthiness has many dimensions, from genetics to diet, to cells, tissues, organs, systems, body, mind, spirit, and community. Each of the dimensions has many possible measurements of healthiness. For example, your circulatory system might have a healthy blood pressure level and a healthy pulse - even though you are suffering from cancer or from a cold (or both). Each healthiness (scale of health) can be measured on a continuum from very healthy to very unhealthy. Unhealthiness is the inverse of healthiness. If we measure heart healthiness on a scale, for example a scale of 0 to 100, a score of 80 healthiness would indicate a score of 20 unhealthiness. Each disease has specific measures required for diagnosis, although there may be differences of opinion between doctors and also differences between medical associations in different countries. Any doctor can use these defined measurements to diagnose a disease or not. However, health cannot be diagnosed. As a result, many doctors, and many patients, view 'being healthy' as the condition of being disease free. This is a simplistic view that ignores many aspects of healthiness.
