The Medical Service Sectors provides a variety of services to support the healthcare needs of a community or individuals. The healthcare industry classifies the different products it offers by sector. Hospitals and healthcare systems are continually changing their service offerings and responding to various internal and external forces including reimbursement issues, advances in technology, and shifts in the populations they serve. A universally agreed-upon classification of sectors does not exist, so a non-exhaustive but the inclusive and simplified classification of broad sectors will be used in this exploration.
