Unit 8 Assignment  

Leadership in the U.S. Health Care System

A well–functioning health care system, with all segments working in harmony, depends on all of the following: trained and motivated health care workers, a well-maintained infrastructure, a reliable supply of medicines and technologies, adequate funding, strong health places, and evidence-based policies (World Health Organization, n.d.). We know that the challenges facing the U.S. health care system are many. Health care services are costly and complex. Legislative, financial, and other market forces exert constant pressure on the system to change, adapt, and improve.

The U.S. health care system, one of the top five largest industries in the country, and HIM need individuals who are able to embrace and adapt to organizational change and new innovations. Theoretical frameworks help to provide lenses through which to view, make meaning of, and adapt to change. Developing a personal leadership and management philosophy is an important step for individuals who work in the vast, complex, and ever-evolving U.S. health care system. In addition, knowing how to be a good leader and a good manager, whether for others, or just for yourself, is key to making improvements in the health information management field that benefit everyone.

For this assignment, you will examine how you can apply leadership and management theories to address a market force or issue affecting HIM.
