There are those who view management as generic and others who argue that the health care system is significantly different from other systems, requiring managers with special knowledge and skills. This study uses a task inventory mailed to members of the American Academy of Medical Directors (AAMD) to describe and analyze the job of physicians who are in hospital management positions. Physician manager responsibility for the tasks was analyzed by calculating the percentage of responsibility and examining the rank tasks within management function categories. This measures the degree of relationship between two sets of rank-ordered items for task responsibility. Findings indicated that tasks dealing with policy management were among those most likely to be performed by physician administrators while the financial aspects of management are those for which physician managers were least responsible. It was also revealed that physician managers were more involved with program management than with resource management tasks.
有些人认为管理是通用的，而另一些人则认为医疗保健系统与其他系统有显著不同，需要具备特殊知识和技能的管理者。本研究通过向美国医学主任学会（AAMD）成员邮寄任务清单，来描述和分析担任医院管理职位的医生的工作。通过计算职责百分比并检查管理职能类别中的任务排名，分析了医生管理者对任务的职责。这衡量了两组按等级排列的任务职责项目之间的关系程度。研究结果表明，处理政策管理的任务是医生管理人员最有可能执行的任务之一，而管理的财务方面则是医生管理者最不负责的方面。研究还表明，医生管理者更多地参与项目管理而非资源管理任务。
