Health care administration and regulation

The management and administration of health care is another sector vital to the delivery of health care services. In particular, the practice of health professionals and operation of health care institutions is typically regulated by national or state/provincial authorities through appropriate regulatory bodies for purposes of quality assurance.^[24] Most countries have credentialing staff in regulatory boards or health departments who document the certification or licensing of health workers and their work history.^[25]
