Any job in the healthcare industry puts employees in front of many, and some often expensive, resources. Computers, medical equipment, medication and many other things comprise the resources that are necessary to provide great patient care and be successful on the job. Using resources in an efficient manner is of utmost importance to Swedish Medical Center to ensure that costs are held in check. The slightest waste can lead to much higher costs. For this question, talk about things you do on the job to ensure that you are using resources wisely and efficiently. As well, talk about why this is important to the organization.

"In my job, I ensure that I reduce waste in the amount of paper that I print and only do so when necessary. When looking at vendors for items that we need in our department, I shop around for the best prices on the highest quality products. Any decisions I make on the cost of resources directly influence the bottom financial line of the organization and I do my part to be a good steward of finances and resources."
