Should problems exist, the Clinic Manager is responsible for bringing the various resources of the clinic together in a way that addresses the problems in the best way possible. In short, this person must make sure each area of the clinic is going well, identify problems and bottlenecks, and make sure responsible parties are notified so that action can be taken in case of problems.
