This website goes more into detail on what it takes to manage a hospital, along with the people needed to successfully run a hospital. The Healthcare Administration Degree website, a website proving information on a career administration, posted this article to spread and educate people in regards to this career path. The website was created in 2010 but is continuing to be updated with new information. The main purpose of the article is to inform people about the occupation, employment opportunities, and how to go about becoming a healthcare administrator. One weakness of this site is that it does not include any authors names, thus making it hard to determine how credible it is.
This article, written by Laura Dyrda, emphasizes six tips on how to successfully manage a hospital. The article was posted on a website called Becker’s Hospital Review in 2011. This website is well known in the healthcare industry for providing legal and business information for running a successful hospital. The main purpose of this article is to provide people with a broad look into what it takes to run a successful hospital. Dyrda brings up key point like having a well managed and organized staff who are educated and know what they are doing, being aligned and communicating with other hospital staff such as doctors and physicians, and strategically planning expenses and managing finances. A weakness that this article provides is that there is not a lot of information on the author herself, but the website itself is credible.

Running a hospital is difficult, but with the correct training, it could be done anywhere. In this news article posted by the Forces Network, a medic team from Vietnam are being trained to run a field hospital in South Sudan. The Forces Network is a website that posts the latest news regarding the military world. It is a nonprofit organization that raises awareness of military news. The article was posted in October of 2018 making it a very recent source. The main purpose of the article is to inform the readers of the progress of the field hospital and the amount of training and practice it takes. A weakness of the article is that it is not very long, thus lacking information, but overall it provides us with a look into the management of a not so traditional hospital.
In the paper below, written by Dr. Mahboob in 2016, steps and tips to running a successful hospital are expressed. This is a credible source written by an expert in hospital management who has seven national Healthcare Certifications. In his paper, he writes about his view and experience with hospital management from staffing all the way to financing and marketing. A weakness to this source is the fact that it could be confusing to a reader who does not have much knowledge about business or management.
