Abstract
This research paper discusses some of the health care administrators’ daily activities that that may turn hazardous to the resources. This has been done in view of a hospital as an example of healthcare facility. The main reason for this is that a hospital is a complex, bustling patient centre and an interdisciplinary workplace for various personnel; yet the responsibility of keeping it running lies with the hospital administrator.
As health care administrators oversee the delivery of the best healthcare services to the patients, they are obligated to be good stewards of the recourses.

E.g. the administrator may fail to put into use some natural sources of power e.g. solar systems and bio gas even when they could be available. This mainly comes as a result of lack of enough knowledge on the available better alternatives. The hospital administrators should therefore embrace environment friendly sources of power and have them utilized in the hospitals.
Maintenance of a clean surrounding: The hospital administrator is charged with the duty of ensuring a clean environment around the hospital. Neriz Alicia & Ramis (2014) concludes that: A hospital being a facility where patients of different ailments converge, a highly hygienic environment must be ensured.
In maintaining a healthy environment for the hospital, the administrator should ensure that the environment friendly chemicals are used in cleaning the different areas of the hospital. Again he should go miles in ensuring that water is not wasted in the process of ensuring a clean environment. For example, the hospital administrator can organize for posters to be displayed on walls reminding everyone at large the importance of switching off the taps when not in use.
Initiation of projects: the hospital administrator spear heads the projects to be undertaken by a hospital. In so doing, the admi...
