The Environment: What two top environmental risk issues (provided below) do you envision will likely have the greatest impact upon the quality of future healthcare services across the U.S. health sector? Why do you see these priorities as most important, meriting your attention as a future healthcare leader?
As used here, “environment” means the circumstances, objects, or conditions by which the health/healthcare sector is surrounded, NOT the climate, air, water, pollution, etc.
1. Economic condition sector- levels and rates of employment, inflation, growth, investment, and other economic circumstances in which your organization exists (not financial resources or money for your specific organization)
2. Market Sector- actual and potential customers, clients and users of your organizations products and services.
