The assignment for unit four has asked that I write a paper outlining some of the key highlights and notable points about the profession that I have chosen to pursue. The more I study and review the career field of a Healthcare Administration, the more excited I get about the possibilities that potentially await me.

In regard to being a Resident Assistant, it is more important to be well-respected. I think it's okay to be liked by the residents, but I don't think it should be to the point where they think they can take advantage of you and break rules. Just because someone is liked doesn't mean that they shouldn't be respected as well. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. Most off the time, when someone is well-liked, it is because they are nice and easy to talk to.…
Meaningful Use is a set of standards that goes abut the use of EHR and allows the eligibility of the providers and hospitals that earn and incentive .
