The interviewer would like to hear that you have thought about how you can make a positive impact shortly after being hired by Novant Health. Perhaps you want first to meet your team and learn all you can about them and the unit's policies and procedures. Or, the interviewer may have mentioned they have an organizational issue in the department and need help becoming more organized. Whatever your response, make sure it is measurable and that you will not step on anyone's toes if hired.

"When we spoke earlier, you mentioned that you urgently sought to improve the level of patient care and compassion at this facility. I want to offer my skills in building patient rapport and help improve the satisfaction of everyone that uses the services of Novant Health. I plan to make a positive impact quickly if you hire me for the position."

"If hired today, I would commit to diving into every resource provided to me, speeding up the learning curve typical of a new hire who is also new to their career. I will soak in every learning opportunity that comes my way so that I can be a self-sufficient member of your healthcare team within the first 30 days."

When you start a new position, it is essential to be clear on how you will make a positive impact after being hired. This question is delicate, and you need to show respect for the onboarding process, then give a moderately ambitious project you could execute. This concept is often called your 'value proposition' in marketing. 'Hire me because I'll do X.'
Tell the interviewer your impact goal, should you be the successful candidate. Be sure to refer to the company's immediate needs, such as increasing budgets or improving patient care, for instance.
