Answer the following questions in 150 words or more.

1. How can we promote the Health Information Management profession in the


Philippines?
Answer:
We can promote the Health Information Management profession in the Philippines
by utilizing social media platforms in disseminating information and awareness
about this profession. In our present situation, we can see brave and courageous
medical workers helping our country combating this pandemic, and because of
that, some are inspired to pursue a medical profession. Through social media, it
has been a greater advantage of sharing awareness and notifying the existence of
this profession. Social media caters to millions of people in the country, so I
believe these platforms will affect the popularity by posting infographics,
informational videos, programs, and seminars to an incoming college student
showing them the essence and importance of this profession in the country.
Besides, we can also raise this profession by promoting it during job fair since
some Filipinos attend these events in the hopes of finding a job. Lastly, I hope that
our Government will increase the salary of any medical professional because a lot
of Filipino medical profession works outside the country because of higher pay. I
hope our Government would address this issue because Filipinos are
knowledgeable and hard workers.

2. Which three tools do you think are most effective and useful during the
application of change management?
Answer:
Change management is defined as a series of tools, techniques, and processes
aimed at successfully effecting change. Among the enumerated common tools
and techniques by Downey (2008) are gathering information about the “as is” and
“to be” status of the current process, project management, and problem-solving in
which I believe are the most effective and use during the application of change
management. The first step is to choose the ‘as-is’ process to be analyzed and
identify. Next, gather as much information about the process as possible to
understand the issues it faces, the objectives, the scope of improvement, and other
goals of the analysis. Use the analysis to make recommendations on how a
process ‘to-be’ should look. Point out the requirements, suggest resources and
changes, and define a timeline. The second tool is problem-solving determines any
mistakes or errors, identifies and prioritize significant issues. Hence, selecting
alternatives and implementing a solution during the process of implementing
change. Without this tool, underlying difficulties that have been overlooked may
arise and may become more difficult for the company to fix this. Lastly, the Project
management tool is necessary because it guarantees the change initiative to be
maintained to its best conditions. This tool provides the project consistency, and it
gives the company room for improvement if ever there are any shortcomings
detected.
