financial counselling, keeping the medical records, the billing, cash posting and data collection. They
are also responsible for co-ordination of daily practise operations. They develop, execute and
maintain the office policies, procedures. They manage all the filing and the organizational systems
within the practice. They ensure patient satisfaction and service delivery.
As a medical manager I would be able to care for all populations and especially for the
geriatric population who are at most risk of the diseases and lifestyle disorders. Hence, it becomes
progressively important for as a manager whether I work in a hospital or a non-governmental
organisation – to put a special emphasis on this senile people’s care and I would like to use all my
intrapersonal and interpersonal skills to facilitate the same.
