Professional Evaluation

Management is important in any environment, but especially so in the healthcare field.  As the health care system continues to evolve, sound management is critical to the survival of health care institutions (Johnson, 2005). The management team in a healthcare environment must always aim to improve the efficiency of the day to day activities and constantly plan for ways to improve the productivity and efficiency. Every manager’s main duty is to succeed in helping the organization achieve high performance while utilizing all of the organization’s human and material resources. On a daily basis health care managers must recognize performance problems and

Healthcare enterprises also may choose to utilize this assessment instrument to define the requirements of particular roles within the institution accurately. Furthermore, the results from the self-assessment tool can be utilized to identify and create strategies that will be beneficial in improving and enhancing the responsibilities of these executives. For example, a training and development plan can then be established to help the supervisor improve his or her skills. Also, the tool is instrumental in the identification of diversity skills in a team and thus, each individual is able to concentrate on their strengths and help the group succeed (ACHE, 2016).

According to the AMHCA Code of Ethics, 2010, Section III.9, Commitment to Students, Supervisees and Employee Relationships, "the primary obligation of supervisors is to monitor services provided by supervisees to ensure client welfare." (p. 16) According to the AMHCA Code of Ethics, 2010, Section I.A.1.a, “the primary responsibility of mental health counselors is to respect client dignity and promote client welfare.” (p.2) Both codes of ethics have parallel stances when it comes to acting ethically in the benefit of the client’s interest. Supervisory roles are crucial in the development of counselors and ensuring the welfare of clients.

My supervision is always held in a confidential setting, between myself and my Manager. My Manager records details of what has been discussed, targets identified, and achievement target dates to be met by me and my Manager. This is my personal development plan, and helps me to record training received, training identified, and knowledge gained. My supervision is my opportunity to discuss issues I am concerned about. Sometimes prior to my supervision, I write down notes on issues I want to raise, so that I do not forget whilst in my supervision.

Mr. Harris expressed to me the key factors in being successful in his workplace. He stated that the employees should think about the patients first and make the quality of their care the first priority. To be unsuccessful in his clinic, he states that employees would not take pride in their job and not care about the quality of their work. He expressed to me that a manager should most importantly succeed in having open communication with all employees and stakeholders. Keeping an open line of communication with employees makes for a positive workplace environment. Harris explained that this can be done by checking in with them often to make sure the employees aren 't having any issues and are satisfied with the staff’s work. He also interprets that you should let them know that you are always available for them if issues or questions arise.

Becoming a supervisor will allow me a behinds-the-scenes look at the paperwork and practices used to determine an individual’s assistance plan. Learning the role of a supervisor will add to the knowledge needed to build my own organization. It will also provide me the opportunity to learn more about the processes and assessments of interviewing clients and families before admitting them.

Mental and emotional health can have interpersonal, and social impacts; I want to provide evidenced-based mental, emotional and behavioral health interventions within the context of families, communities and larger systems, to children and adolescents. My goal as a licensed counselor will be to develop a collaborative relationship where each client feels empowered to act as an expert in developing effective coping skills, manage anxiety, depression, navigate difficult life transitions, and enhance communication skills and relationships. Reflective practice and self-evaluation will be an integral part of my practice. This also means being able to set my experiences, values, privilege, beliefs and biases aside during counseling sessions and allowing the clients goals and needs to take precedence. In order to be well-rounded in my profession, my day-to-day functions will include, assessments, psychological testing, counseling, personality testing, teaching, treatment plans, referrals, coordinate services, case-management, client-family- community education, documentation,

According to McConell (2012), the difference in a leader and a follower determines the success of a person regarding leadership.
