HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT2
Introduction
Healthcare management is defined as the process of administering and monitoring the
entire healthcare system and public health system and take necessary action to improve the
same for the sake of promoting health and wellbeing of the patients (Mittal 2019.). This is the
mode of running the internal functionality of the healthcare organisations in a systematic
manner. The aim of this paper is to make in-depth discussion on healthcare management. In
the first part of the paper, reflection on personal learning process and personal development
by using Kolb Cycle of learning will be presented. Second part of the assignment will focus on the
stressors, associated with healthcare managers. Recommendations will also be provided about
different coping strategies.
Analysis of Reflection
Reflection is considered to be the mental process which is the contemplation or the
long consideration which is inclusive of the different thoughts or the processes. Unlike the
reflection is considered is the mirror, it is the interpretation of what is going on between the
learning as well as thinking process that will be capable of improving the effectiveness in the
process in an efficient manner. The process of reflection includes the three major areas that
includes technical, group as well as individual approaches that will be beneficial and
impacting the performance of the tasks which will be performed in an efficient manner.
Reflection on personal learning process and personal development
Taylor (2017) said that healthcare management is a complicated process, which
required strong skills and competencies from the healthcare practitioners. As stated by Esteva
et al. (2017) therefore, it is the prime responsibility of healthcare professional to focus on
improving their skills and competencies, which is the key of managing the entire healthcare
system properly and offer excellent care and system to the patients on the basis of their

requirements. According to Boekaerts (2016) Kolb’s experiential learning cycle is one of the
major frameworks, which the healthcare practitioners should follow in order to reflect on
their personal learning process. Being a healthcare, it is important for me to apply this
framework for the sake of reflecting on my personal learning process. However, Badgeley et
al. (2019) argued by saying that before reflecting on personal learning process, it is important
to carry out personal SWOT analysis. SWOT analysis will help me to present the skill, which
has helped me to deal with the patient’s properly. My personal SWOT analysis is as follows:

Summary of the Strengths and Weaknesses
From the analysis of the personal SWOT analysis which have been done, it can be
inferred that my major strengths include the proper skills related to communication along

working in the collaborative manner is the other aspect that is needed to be implemented in
