    They are 100% in the example, but rather implicitly than explicitly.

    And the engineer or scientists C-suite are probably a small minority. Most are business majors.

      I work in healthcare. Majority c-suite at hospitals, clinics, or practices have both a science masters or doctorate AND a business degree. Same goes for directors and most managers.

      Healthcare is one of the largest industries. So you’d be excluding tens of thousands in Manager and above.

        I don’t think you’ve seen the majority of C-suite in hospitals and other health centers just because you work in health care.

        And it’s a large industry, but it’s only one among thousands.

        So this is an assumption stacked on top of an assumption.

          You’ve made a false assumption I’ve only worked at one hospital. I’ve work a several and I currently work for a health tech company and regularly communicate with operational and clinical leaders at multiple hospitals. Our software is currently in 2000+ hospitals in the US. Plus several thousand surgical clinics and infusion centers.

            Did I make that assumption? Where?

            The point is, even if you worked at several, it’s impossible to give an accurate estimate based on your own limited observations. Like you said, it’s a huge industry. I don’t mean to offend but I think a person working in health care should at least know a bit about levels of evidence and the like.

            Running your software at a lot of places also doesn’t tell me much. You’ve made a failed argument from authority. No need to double down on it.

              Again making assumptions.

              • Healthcare software is implemented by clinical and non clinical professionals for the software company.
              • The c-suite leadership signs the contract, which we meet and learn their science and business credentials.
              • The clinical and non clinical folks then work with the directors and managers who lead workflow. We once again learn of their science and business credentials.

              There’s no failed argument here. You’re making false assumptions and stomping around like you’re correct. You aren’t.

              Bottom line when it comes to health care the vast majority in leadership and c-suite positions have mainly science degrees (MD, PH.D, DPN, MRN, APRN, MRN) with most, but not all, having a business degree as well.

              All you’ve proven is that you don’t know how healthcare organizations work or are structured.
