Employers expect employees to stay up-to-date in their respective fields, and today's technology makes this reasonably easy! List several ways you receive your industry knowledge and stay on top of trends. Tell the interviewer about those daily email updates you receive from professional organizations, conferences you attend, and seminars you have taken.
Lastly, asking the interviewer what resources they refer to for industry trends is a great idea. That question can start up a great conversation, and you may learn a thing or two.

"One of my university professors made some great recommendations recently, including keeping on top of the local changes through our city and state's licensing websites. I have done this and set up a Google alert for related keywords in the healthcare industry. I also attend yearly conferences, subscribe to a monthly nursing newsletter, and talk with colleagues about changes in the industry. Do you have any additional recommendations for me?"

"I am an avid fan of Google alerts! I will receive an email with the related information whenever there is a major headline about the healthcare services industry. In addition to this, I also subscribe to a couple of medical-related journals, including A and B."

The interviewer asks this question to determine if you are proactive and dedicated to continuous improvement in your field. Focus on listing several ways you stay up-to-date with changes in your respective field and the healthcare industry in general. If you do not stay current with changes in the industry, it shows that you may be unmotivated to grow professionally.
