Health Care Leadership Self-Assessment
Professional Context
To remain relevant, health care leaders must regularly assess  individual competencies relative to organizational strategy and mutual  fit. Changing laws, regulations, technology, consumer preferences,  medical treatment advances, and external environmental shifts can affect  the skill sets needed for an effective leadership. An accurate  self-assessment is the first step in the identification of potential  gaps. The next step involves the development of an action plan to close  those gaps. This process is consistent throughout the career of any  health care leader.
By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate  your proficiency in the following course competencies and assignment  criteria:

Competency 1: Transformation: Facilitate a change process that  effectively involves patients, communities, and professionals in the  improvement and delivery of health care and wellness.      

Assess your progress toward developing NCHL health leadership competencies.
Analyze your health care leadership competencies.

Competency 2: Execution: Translate strategy to develop and maintain optimal organizational performance in health care settings.      

Evaluate the outcomes of demonstrated health leadership that illustrate NCHL competencies.

Competency 3: People: Create an organizational climate that  values and supports employees and colleagues in health care settings.      

Describe specific, personal examples of NCHL health leadership competency, with the intent of improving health care outcomes.

Complete a self-assessment of your health care leadership  competencies. Use the STAR Format Competency Rating Table linked in the  Resources to record your assessment. Instructions for filling in the table are included in the document.
Note: The requirements outlined below correspond  to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. Be sure that your  self-assessment addresses each point, at a minimum. You may also want to  read the Health Care Leadership Self-Assessment Scoring Guide to better  understand how each criterion will be assessed.

Assess your progress toward developing NCHL health leadership competencies.

If you do not have experience in health care or human services,  consider how you may have demonstrated these skills in a different  industry or setting, a previous job, volunteer work, or other courses  here at Capella. For example,

Perhaps you demonstrated an information seeking attitude and self-confidence during a health policy team debate on HIPAA.
Perhaps, while conducting a health care quality cost-benefit  analysis, you demonstrated financial skills, performance measurement,  and human resource management.

If asked, how would you justify your evaluation?
