During Cowan’s time at St. Michael’s Health Centre (SMHC), he was able to encourage the repair of broken relationships, raise morale and transformed the business into a working and successful one. The stakeholders involved covers a wide range; the most obvious being the employees of St. Michael’s Health Centre and the customers they serve, but it also influenced the health care unions, Chinook Health Region (CHR) employees, the media and the family and friends of patients being cared by SMHC. With the increase of employee morale, one can also argue that those affected would also reach the family and friends of SMHC’s employees and the community as a whole.

When I began this course I was very nervous because I had no idea of the scope of the course. I was unfamiliar with the Canadian education system and other students. After receiving instructions from my professor, I introduced myself to the person beside me and this process helped to break the ice. I developed a good friendship with the student and this technique used by the professor helped me develop better communication and relationship skills.

By a complicated system, it means how different healthcare organizations together play a pivotal role in measuring success of a country’s healthcare system.
