Consumer Patient Pricing
- What competencies were you able to develop in researching and writing the Comprehensive Project due in Unit 5?
From the project, I was able to learn some fundamental aspects that need to get put into consideration for any healthcare organization to attain its objectives. For any healthcare to deliver quality services while maintaining favorable pricing for its consumers, the accrediting organization plays a significant role (Flum et al., 2011). I also learnt that for healthcare to select the best accreditation organization, some aspects need to be considered such as the target area, the type of programs offered by the accrediting organization and the necessary regulatory standards and requirements usually set by the accrediting organization. Therefore, I now understand why it is essential to get accredited by the best organization which offers the best programs.
- How did you leverage feedback from your peers in the Discussion Board for Units 1–4 in completing the project?
The study played a significant role in developing my abilities and skills through the sharing of views with my colleagues via the discussion board. The skills made me develop a successful writing and research performance for unit 5. The platform also aided me to understand more the healthcare management and accreditation organizations through the question and answers section. I enjoyed the study method since I could study at my own pace and could also repeat courses for better understanding.
- How will these competencies and knowledge support your career advancement in management?
The knowledge and competencies gained will aid me to assist healthcare organizations in determining the best accrediting organization that fit their requirements. Knowing about the accreditation and getting to know which organization offers what services and its requirements will enable me to be of great help to many healthcare organizations.
