Not only is staying abreast of current practices and methods essential, but expanding on one’s specialised skills that run parallel to one’s skillset is key to maintaining one’s position and moving up the career ladder. An example can be seen in case managers that often need to present reports in meetings. Whilst you may be qualified in case management, being an articulated presenter with advanced skills in Microsoft Power Point can greatly improve your ability to communicate knowledge and demonstrate competence. Thus, one’s primary skillset can often be enhanced by supporting or supplementary skills that help you do your job better than anyone else.

The extremely small monetary benefit they would let us have saved 2 mil in the first year. WITH ONE HOSPITAL.

Such skills can open doors to supervisory roles or administrative positions within healthcare organizations. Also consider pursuing a degree in Healthcare Administration, Public Health, or a related field to qualify for higher-level positions.

In Healthcare I've always believed that if you do the best for the patient or souls as I've always called them the opportunities and advancements come looking for you.
