To be familiar with the administrative needs of a hospital, spend time researching a typical org chart. Once you feel confident that you understand the organizational chain of command using examples and research, you will create your own chart for a fictional hospital. Keep in mind that you want it to be as realistic as possible, taking into consideration the many departments that are likely to be housed in a general hospital. Your chart should begin with the board of trustees and flow through the executives, major department heads, managers, and key administrative professionals. Consider that there may be both administrative and medical professionals on your chart.
