Which of the following activities is not classified as a finance activity?

Facilities management is primarily concerned with the maintenance and operation of physical spaces and assets within a healthcare setting. This encompasses ensuring that the physical infrastructure is safe, efficient, and conducive to supporting healthcare operations. While it plays a vital role in the overall functioning of a healthcare organization, it does not inherently involve financial decision-making, budgeting, raising funds, or managing investments, which are typical functions classified under finance activities.

On the other hand, investment management encompasses allocating resources to generate returns or value for an organization, budget planning involves the development of financial plans for future spending, and financial reporting entails the communication of an organization’s financial status and results to stakeholders. All of these activities are fundamentally tied to the management of a healthcare organization's financial resources, which is why they are considered finance activities.
