Introduction
Throughout their careers, health care leaders must regularly assess their individual competencies and how those competencies align with organizational needs and priorities. Changing laws, regulations, technology, consumer preferences, medical treatment advances, and external environmental shifts can affect the skill sets needed for effective leadership. Accurate self-assessment is an important first step in identification of areas for future leadership development.
In this assessment, you will reflect upon your performance with respect to the industry-validated ACHE leadership competency model. After identifying areas of strength and areas for development, you can craft specific action steps to address any leadership development gaps.

Competency 4: Analyze records and reports based on established benchmarks and organizational goals and performance.Identify five individual competencies within each of the five ACHE model domains practiced during the capstone project.
Estimate baseline competency performance ratings at the beginning of the BHA program on the 25 identified individual competencies.
Assess current competency performance ratings for the capstone project on the 25 identified individual competencies.
Competency 5: Create comprehensive and useable data-driven action plans, based on industry benchmarks.Identify one competency within each of the five ACHE domains for further development.
