SMART Goals

SMART Goals

Introduction

The two smart goals, which I have chosen are Effective communication at the workplace and the proper use of medical supplies and equipment. Effective communication helps in maintaining the relationships between the people at the workplace, at home and in other social situations. Effective communication makes a person capable to communicate about the difficult and negative messages and the risk of destroying trust and conflict creation is also eliminated. There are many skills of non verbal communication which are needed for an effective communication that involve listening ability, stress management ability, recognition ability and understanding of emotion. I have chosen this goal because I will be able to achieve this goal in my medical unit because there will be team members in my unit belonging to many cultural diversities.

Medical supplies and equipments produce a significant effect on the quality of healthcare and also make a high contribution in high healthcare costs. Medical supplies and equipments are used for the prevention of diseases, treatment of any health problem, diagnosis of the disease and for the development of the services that are available for patients. I have selected this goal because it will help in increasing the performance of my medical unit and they will be able to learn new methods of treatments.

Goal 1: Leadership Development

The goal of leadership development can be achieved by educating small group meeting and educating staff. The team will be able to manage the diversity properly through improved communication skills and increase in active listening, inspiration and understanding will be achieved.
