According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, healthcare is the second fastest growing sector of the U. S. economy, employing over 12 million workers. Amid rapid growth in this ever-changing industry, the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services is pushing the Healthcare Information Technology Initiative that will generate the need for even more healthcare managers and administrators to oversee the flow of an electronic health record system.
As the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services propels the Healthcare IT initiative, the White House acknowledges growth in the healthcare industry. After the president's most recent State of the Union Address, Elaine Chao, Secretary of Labor, stated that "there are a number of industries that are expected to expand rapidly and create new jobs in this decade." Healthcare is among the four industries she describes.
The healthcare administration industry remains in need of administrators and managers, and individuals with business and management skills should enjoy the best opportunities, according to the U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The U. S. Bureau of Labor Statistics cites that in 2004 there were 175,000 individuals employed as medical and health services managers. This number will likely grow by an astounding 26.1 percent through 2014. In the high-paying field of healthcare administrators, qualified individuals can advance to positions of greater responsibility including chief executive officer of a major healthcare facility.
