As a Healthcare Administrator in a Pediatric department,  list and explain three issues or professional challenges that you might face in your capacity as an allied health professional.

One of my main challenges as a health administrator at a pediatrics department is managing staff and resources. The task involves monitoring staffing levels, scheduling and ensuring all equipment necessary for patient care are available. This could include budgeting and financial analyses to make sure the department is running efficiently, while remaining within budget.

It may also be necessary to stay up-to date with new regulations or trends in the field of pediatric care, so as to ensure that our department is compliant. To stay up-to-date on best practices, this could involve attending conferences, participating at continuing education sessions, or reading relevant publications.

In addition, I might also have to face challenges in my professional life due to the ever-changing patient population that is diverse from a medical and cultural perspective. It is important that I understand how other cultures perceive health care, and how they relate to doctors/nurses in order to build respectful relationships between them and their families.
