Health services management is a field of healthcare focused on the management of services being rendered to a patient. It is the act of coordinating and organizing hospital staff to ensure the efficient and timely delivery of care services.

Health services managers oversee departments or an entire care facility to ensure that care is being provided in an efficient, compliant and timely manner. Larger care facilities tend to have more than one health services manager, usually one for each department. Smaller facilities may have a single manager who oversees everything.
