Summative Reflection
This class helped me gain a different perspective on healthcare management and
leadership in the healthcare industry. My thinking was most definitely challenged in this course.
From the principles of health care to the different leadership theories, I recognized several
concepts I currently use as a Provider Enrollment Manager. I also learned some additional things
that I could apply to my current position and use in the future, regardless of whether my career is
in health care. At times, I didn't know if I was going in the right direction or was off track
regarding my assignments. However, looking at my grades, I wasn't too far off course.
Most Enjoyed Assignment
I've enjoyed all my assignments so far in this course; however, my favorite would be the
Health Care Innovation assignment from week two. I learned about the different types of
healthcare innovation and how I can apply them to a career in healthcare management. I enjoyed
this assignment for many reasons. First, I enjoy creating PowerPoint presentations. I prefer to
develop presentations as opposed to writing papers. I enjoy the creative aspect of creating
PowerPoints. I also enjoyed this assignment because it gave me insights into innovation and how
it can assist with things such as improving patient outcomes by leading to the development of
new treatments and technologies. Also, it can help with cost reduction by streamlining new
processes and procedures and making health care more accessible and affordable. These are
fundamental concepts that will help me excel in my career.
Least Enjoyed Assignment
The assignment that I liked the least was week one's assignment, Graduate Readiness
Modules. There was valuable information in the modules that can prepare me to be successful in
this course and future courses. Still, I liked learning more of the core information, such as team

communication and ethics in the healthcare community. These are things that I could apply in my
current role. The Graduate Readiness modules provided information on proper time management
and information on APA formatting. I already have good time management skills and was
familiar with APA formatting from my bachelor's program. So, not that the information wasn't
helpful because I did learn some new things; I just found it to be the least interesting.
Importance of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Diversity includes many factors, such as culture, educational background, and sexual
orientation, and is not limited to race and gender. Diversity leads to better innovation and
creativity as people come from various backgrounds and experiences and can contribute ideas
based on their knowledge and experiences. I learned that equity is significant because it
encourages fair treatment and does not consider race, gender, status, etc. Inclusion promotes a
work environment where people feel respected and valued. If all of these things are embraced,
this can lead to better patient care and improvement in the organization.
Application of Acquired Knowledge in Current or Future Job
I will apply what I learned to my current job by promoting and encouraging elements
such as diversity, equity, and inclusion. I will also work to innovate new ideas and perspectives
by encouraging collaboration, ensuring that I hire people with different backgrounds and foster
an environment where staff's voices can be heard, and their ideas can flourish. I will also make
sure that I am applying the appropriate techniques to overcome the barriers to the diffusion of
health care. Last, I will work to ensure that I apply conflict management techniques to address
any conflicts that may arise in my organization.
