Personal Statement Assignment

My Greatest Strengths

My greatest strength is in the ability to understand how technology is being applied in health care. I am deeply interested in the adoption of medical technologies, particularly telemedicine and health informatics to improve health outcomes for everyone. I am a strong believer in the power of these medical technologies in bridging the existing divide in access to health care. In this divide, the rich have tended to have greater access to medical services while the poor have largely remained marginalized from the available health care facilities.

Areas Where I Need to Improve

I feel that I need to improve my understanding in three major areas: the concept of risk management as well as their application in health care, how market forces are contributing to rising health care costs, and how success in universal health care insurance coverage can be achieved in today’s uncertain economic environment.

Accomplishments in Strategic and Critical Thinking

I feel that I am doing fairly well as far as critical thinking is concerned. I understand very many things about the current situation in health care. Some of them include legal and political factors influencing delivery of care, the positive effects of technological advancements on health care, and the role of leadership in promoting efficiency in health care.

The Evolution of My Ethical and Personal Perspectives since the Start of the Program

Since starting this program, I have started paying a lot of attention to ethical issues. For the first time, I fully embrace the idea that access to affordable health care is a fundamental human right. I personally feel that it is the responsibility of the government to ensure that the existing policies, laws, and regulations contributed to improved access to and efficiency in the delivery of care to everyone in society.

Areas Where I Can Achieve Improvements through the Setting of Personal Goals

The three areas where I believe I can achieve improvement through the setting of personal goals include promoting my understanding of the management of quality and risk in health care, analyzing the influence of market forces on health care costs, and an investigation of how the goal of access to health insurance within the whole population can be achieved. the overarching personal goal that would enable me make these improvements is that of ensuring that I make a meaningful contribution to the government’s objective of ensuring that everyone in society has access to efficient and affordable health care.
