The Course Project has two deliverables : a final paper
a description of your chosen issue and how it affects the delivery of healthcare;
a discussion of the impact of this issue on the healthcare consumer and the healthcare institution;
a critical analysis of the issues related to the topic;
proposed solutions for improving or alleviating the issue, including recommended policy changes; and
a discussion of how the healthcare administrator or manager can effectively be involved in or impacted by this issue.
See the more detailed Grading Rubric below.
The length of the final paper should be approximately 8 pages, double-spaced in MS Word 2007 (or later versions, e.g., MS Word 2010)
The paper MUST:
Introduce the issue.
Define the problem.
Search the literature.
Analyze the problem.
Offer possible solutions.
Propose a single solution.
Develop an implementation plan.
Justify why and how your solution will solve the identified problem.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument
