            The healthcare sector provides a complex work environment for professionals involved because it requires them to balance different interests. The primary role of any healthcare framework is to provide a safe and efficient mechanism for addressing patients’ varying healthcare needs. Despite their essential role in sustaining a healthy society, health facilities are not any different from other entities like business organizations and similar institutions. Hospitals and other facilities rely on the availability of resources and qualified personnel to operate efficiently. Consequently, medical facilities must be ready to incur high costs in a bid to secure the best equipment and most qualified personnel. In this respect, healthcare must combine both medical and economical concerns to ensure that they provide safe and sustainable services. This paper delves into adaptive strategies that health institutions may adopt to improve business efficiency and health services delivery.(1884words)
