Key Preparatory Tasks for a Successful Meeting

Thorough preparation will ensure that your meeting is productive. Take the following steps to prepare for the meeting:

  • Conduct background research on your prospective client organization. Identify a first and second choice for connecting with a practicing health care professional in that organization.
  • Research best practices for professional communication and feedback to prepare for the interview.
  • Reflect upon your experience in human services and health care administration relevant to your proposed project. Based on the NCHL competencies, is your proposed project realistic?
  • Prepare a list of questions that you would like to ask the practicing health care professional. Refer to the Client Meeting and Project Approval Guide, linked in the Resources of this unit.

Note: You should arrive at the meeting with proposed performance indicators related to the health care issue you have identified. However, it is possible that you have chosen the wrong indicators, that the indicators are not included in the organization’s data sets, or that the client thinks different indicators might be more helpful. It is your job to verify, discover, or redefine your performance indicators so that you can proceed with your data review.
