Employers want to know that you have a systematic approach to problem-solving. Consider the skills and qualities that help you successfully face problems. Perhaps you have a keen eye for detail. Maybe you can see opportunity when others can only focus on the issue. Share your strengths as a problem solver and your ability to come up with innovative solutions.

"I believe I am a great problem solver because I am sure to gather as many facts as possible, I look at the problem and its potential solutions from multiple angles, and I am not afraid to make a creative decision that might seem off the beaten path."

As a healthcare professional, you will have to problem solve daily. Some issues will be minor, and some more significant. Some problems will allow you time to solve them, while for others, you will have to think quickly. The interviewer wants to ensure you have the skills they seek in a candidate.
