Value Why is this important
Evidence-based practice It is important to me because evidence-based practice aims to improve patient outcomes in terms of their health and wellness by using the best evidence available at that time.
Collaboration The healthcare field promotes collaboration and engagement. It is important because healthcare is a multi-disciplinary field, and collaboration focuses on better health outcomes for patients by taking advantage of the experience of different healthcare professionals.
Family Family is important to me because my family is giving continuous encouragement in my career to advance and achieve higher goals. My family is also responsible for my emotional stability.
Equity All healthcare services should be accessible and available to all patients, regardless of their social, economic, or cultural backgrounds. It is important to me because inequalities in healthcare can have a negative impact on peoples health.
Professionalism To deliver healthcare services ethically, competently, and in accordance with high standards of practice, one must act competently. It is important to me because patients trust healthcare professionals for their health and well-being because that professionalism is crucial to preserving patients confidence in the healthcare system.

Module 14: My Reflections on Motivation, My Career Goal
My Reflections on Motivation:
Whats your why? What is your cause? Are these things reflected in your Brand Statement?
My why is to support and empower individuals in achieving their health and wellness goals by providing accurate, reliable, and accessible information and to improve patient outcomes by leveraging my technical expertise in dentistry and combining it with knowledge of healthcare management.
My cause is to promote collaboration and knowledge-sharing among healthcare professionals to improve the overall quality of care, which is reflected in my brand statement of being a supportive partner for healthcare professionals looking to enhance their patient outcomes and a trusted resource for individuals seeking to improve their health and wellness.
Yes, my brand statement reflects my goal as a student in healthcare administration and management to make a positive impact on patient outcomes by promoting collaboration and knowledge-sharing among healthcare professionals to improve the overall quality of care. It also highlights my commitment to being a supportive partner for healthcare professionals looking to enhance their patient outcomes and a trusted resource for individuals seeking to improve their health and wellness.
In the video, Sinek (2009) states: The goal is not just to hire people who need a job; its to hire people to believe what you believe.
What do you think of his statement?
As a student of healthcare administration and management, I believe that Sinek's statement is a valid and relevant one. In healthcare organizations, it is important to not only recruit employees who are qualified for the job, but who also align with the organization's mission, values, and beliefs. This can help to create a positive and cohesive work culture, where employees are motivated and committed to achieving the organization's goals. Hiring people who share the same beliefs can also help to improve patient outcomes, as employees who are invested in the organization's mission are more likely to provide high-quality care to patients.
When people believe in the same things as the organization they work for, they are more likely to be motivated, engaged, and committed to their work. This can lead to better outcomes for the organization and the people it serves.
Now that you are coming to the end of this course, do you feel youve gained the career clarity needed to share what you believe with employers?
I think having finished this course has given me the assurance I require to discuss my opinions with prospective employers. I have gained the required knowledge about the healthcare field through coursework and real-world experiences, and I have also improved my critical thinking and problem-solving abilities through active participation in discussions with healthcare professionals. This has made it easier for me to overcome the difficulties that healthcare organizations face and the significance of efficient administration in enhancing patient outcomes. I feel confident conveying my own opinions and ideas about how to support the success of my prospective employers in the healthcare profession after thinking about my experiences and values.
