The healthcare clinical administrator often is seen as a pillar of the community. Therefore, it is essential that the administrator be knowledgeable about the infrastructure of the community you serve. According to the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) Code of Ethics, the healthcare administrator is responsible to community and society to: Work to identify and meet the healthcare needs of the community; Work to support access to healthcare services for all people; Encourage and participate in public dialogue on healthcare policy issues, and advocate solutions that will improve health status and promote quality healthcare; Apply short- and long-term assessments to management decisions affecting both community and society; and Provide prospective patients and others with adequate and accurate information, enabling them to make enlightened decisions regarding services. (American College, 2019) Based on ACHEs Code of Ethics, healthcare administrators consider the impact of the social determinants of health on their communities as they plan population health management programs, initiatives, policies for their targeted population.
