HIM Reflection tied into Benedictine Values
30 Points
As we close on this class: HIM Technologies in Practice, I would like you to take some time and reflect on (likely) your first few classes here at St. Scholastica and look to the future of HIM.
Please make this submission a narrative paper with the length being 1-2 pages in length.
Reflect on these Benedictine Values:
Community
Sharing responsibility to create and support the community. Creating a climate which promotes a sense of community while valuing the uniqueness of the individual. Manifesting an ability to adapt to circumstances without compromising our values.
Hospitality
Creating a welcoming atmosphere personally and institutionally. Listening and responding sensitively to all. Extending warmth and acceptance to all. Welcoming new ideas and being open to change.
Respect
Cherishing and promoting the worth of all human life. Treating persons with dignity and reverence without regard to age, gender, race, minority, sexual preference or economic status. Honoring and supporting the spirituality of each person. Valuing the dignity of all work. Promoting participation of all persons in the decisions affecting their lives.
Stewardship
Utilizing human resources responsibly. Providing wise and respectful use of all material and monetary resources. Promoting prudent use of resources and energy. Finding time for work, play and prayer in daily life, which will promote physical, mental and spiritual growth.
Love of Learning
Preserving the intellectual and material heritage entrusted to us by past generations. Transmitting the treasures of human culture to new generations. Creating scholarly, artistic and scientific works which enrich and enlarge human life. Integrating thought and action as complementary aspects of a full human life.
How do you see these values tied into the HIM Profession?
Identify one thing you have learned in the past year (in or out of HIM) and how it has altered your thinking about school, HIM, healthcare or your career.
Identify one characteristic of yourself that you will work on from now until you graduate and why?
How will the improvement of this characteristic benefit you in your HIM career and/or life?
