Hospital Org Chart Template

Hospitals combine two chains of command: clinical leadership, which is accountable for patient care, and administrative leadership, which keeps the building, billing and staff running. An org chart that shows both lines prevents the classic problem of clinicians being pulled into admin decisions they don't own.

Hospital org chart FAQs

What are the main departments in a hospital org chart?

Most hospitals group work into medical services, nursing, diagnostics (lab and radiology), pharmacy, and administration (HR, finance, facilities, billing, front office).

Who is the head of a hospital?

A hospital director, CEO or medical director depending on ownership. Clinical departments typically report through a medical superintendent, and non-clinical departments through an administrator.

Can I use this for a clinic?

Yes. Remove the departments you don't have and collapse the superintendent layers - a clinic usually needs a lead doctor, a nurse in-charge and a practice manager.
