Discussion Instructions - As a current or future health care professional, your daily interactions will be with the system at large at many levels. This activity begins a process that spans the duration of this concentration. No matter your position in leadership, your interaction in health care is not linear. It requires working in a system.
As you think about and examine your current or potential future role in health care leadership:
Identify clearly your role in the organization.
Include the elements of the health system that affect your role.
Rank these elements as having:
Immediate effect.
Short-term effect.
Long-term effect.
Create a diagram that illustrates the interaction of these elements. (You may use Visio or the visual tools in Word to do this.)
Explain briefly your view of the system. Within your explanation, include:
Your role in the system.
How this system affects your daily work responsibilities.
An example of a shift in one element of the system and how that shift might affect the whole system.
Remember that any time you support your statements with references, you must cite your sources following current APA guidelines.

Examine the elements of a health care system.
