INTRODUCTION AND REFLECTION
Hello, I am Matt Stone; my
career back ground is within the consumer services industry and after a
fruitful 30 years serving others in the areas of team building, corporate
partnerships and advanced corporate sales management, in 2003, I decided a
career change was needed so I chose healthcare. For the first time decades
without any college, in 2003, I enrolled at Boise State University, Go Broncos!
I earned my BS in Health Informatics and
Health Information Management. When I graduated in 2008, I found that in order to be
competitive in the Healthcare market I decided to enroll at Walden University for my master’s
degree in Healthcare Administration and completed this journey in 2011. After a
wonderful experience and further to be competitive I am currently seeking my
doctoral degree in Health Services with a concentration in Health Education and
Advocacy and Leadership where my focus is specializing under four domains,
Health Education and Community Advocacy, Public Campaigns for Health Promotion
and Education, Organizing Community Action for Health Promotion and Education, Health
Promotion and Interventions in Diverse Populations.
The purpose to pursue this
area of focus is to be competitive with in this area of Health Services, where
2-4 percent of health professionals hold this degree. My passion for my
dissertation path and further career is in the area of personal development to
include leadership and community development. In particular, scientific research aimed at
how we as health professionals can bridge the gap between leadership
efficiencies at the nonprofit sector and the relationship between personal
developments with regard to burden and stress among the growing 60 + million
family caregivers who care for the 161 million chronically ill populations
across the U.S. health delivery system, specifically, aimed at the 450,000
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) population.
What I consider to accomplish
as an online scholarly learner, is to hone in on learning efficiencies
aimed at strategies for
organizational planning, time management and effective technology use,
specifically, to build upon how to develop a culture of quality of life through
free public services for personal and organizational development. This is
accomplished through an innovative and comprehensive learning framework that
both educate and guide individuals to visualize and initiate global health
initiatives at institutional, regional and national levels where I have
developed consulting services for this purpose and will measure this with my
dissertation path an on line learning environment that I have created for this
purpose. One may visualizes this dissertation framework located for review at www.QHCusa.org which is a future nonprofit organization that I have
tailored titled, QualityHealthCareusa-QHCusa.org.
Although there may be many
strategies to consider as strategic is planning, time management, studying, and
effective technology use. This research
is focused on the health belief model theories that are cohesive to the domain
areas of my particular specializations in human health behaviors for a positive
health related quality of life. This is the start of the research planning
phase specifically, for health promotion
for quality health education and interventions programs for diverse populations
and the approach to community and global interventions for quality of life.
These planning stages include, continuous and
in-depth knowledge within the areas of organizing community action, community mobilization, community
organization, community participACTION,
community development and expertise
within the community empowerment theories which is the social action processes for
social change in how to lead individuals that may gain advantages and mastery
over their own health lives and planning for efficient ways to lead the way in
how to change health behaviors within the social and political environments.
Time management, studying,
and effective use of technology is one in the same for me personally, where I
utilize a time charter to keep myself on the path for my personal growth
through this doctoral path which is not only demanding, but requires a
stick-to-itiveness approach to gain the essential skills needed for the
specialization of my Health Services path. Studying is the core for me, where I
spend about 6 to 9 hours a day and 7 days a week conducting literature review
research to gain maximum knowledge in the area of my study focus. This is
linked to the technology environment and is essential to becoming grounded in
the data to streamline the research gaps worthy for my dissertation topic.
The three University outcomes
that I believe are particularly relevant to my health studies at Walden
University and that is essential to my goals, development and as a
scholar-practitioner is engaging in all the written literature of all
discussion post and responses from my peers. This is critical to the processes
of on line learning from each scholarly peer here at Walden University. My
experience on this journey has been highly influenced from course peers;
especially, to the nature of diverse career experiences and references that
each contributes to the PhD courses.
The second is the vast resources
available at Walden University, specifically, the online data base library and
access to the many peer review literature at a mouse click away. And finally, virtual
communication skills which is overlooked at times and the importance in terms
of healthy communication and dialog within an online environment and
especially, when exposed to a diverse environment from each of us who are
located across the globe and our unique patterns of interpretations and
approach to health communication. These outcomes are relevant to the field of quality
public health services and health communication and to the nature of how to
enhance social change aimed at a culture of health interventions; strategic
alignment and organizational development for leadership success across diverse
populations.
These skills sets and beliefs
will further help to consult and facilitate tailored virtual learning programs,
design and the evaluation that will align a nonprofit workforce and leadership
engagement aimed at performance management, mergers and reorganization
methodologies. More important, for personal
engagement for a virtual learning framework that is tailored for a sound
direction is built upon my research platform and QHCusa mission vision and values purpose which is to
demonstrate the power of social change through an innovative approach to free
public services through virtual health education for quality of life. Moreover, that will guide and promote access to quality coping strategies
aimed at burden and stress for the 161 million chronically ill populations, the
70 million elderly and the growing 60 million family caregivers who care for
them.
