Changes in the health care environment necessitate revisiting management-related competencies for both clinical and administrative practitioners.

Important competencies include the ability to identify and implement flexible staffing, to use communication technologies to support staff members across multiple sites, to understand of the business of health care, and to create innovative service delivery models consistent with the core values of the profession.
