Difference between hospital and health care management is
Healthcare management involves supervising business and operational aspects of a healthcare or medical organization, supporting the firms financial infrastructure. Healthcare managers are typically business people and not medical practitioners.

Hospital management includes overseeing and facilitating work related to physicians, nurses and other healthcare professional so as to ensure the smooth functioning of a hospital.

So we can say the responsibilities of a hospital manager are more or less similar to that of a healthcare manager except the specialities in which they are fulfilled.

In terms of future prospect both has a good future if someone is interested in managing business related aspect should go for health care management and those who are interested in managing the functioning of hospital should go for hospital management

A degree in management is preferred in both case
