Introduction
The need to research, develop and write clearly articulated reports, proposals, and policy papers are a requirement of all managers at some point in the careers. These reports may be required to justify budgets or projects, establish organizational policies, or terminate services. Papers or projects developed for college courses allows the student to gain experience in conducting basic research, develop a level of confidence in enhancing their writing abilities, and allows faculty to help students develop their own style of writing.
Paper Requirements
For this project you will review and evaluate one (1) of four (4) important topics that impact modern healthcare and develop a 10-12 slide Power Point presentations (due in Week 9) and conduct a 5-10-minute oral overview to the class during Week 10. The goal of the project is to gain an understanding of why the economics of healthcare is so complex and provide your insight or recommendations on how to resolve the issue based on your research. The research topics are:
1. Why is the cost of healthcare so high in the United States?
2. Why is the Affordable Care Act (ACA) so controversial?
3. Why is healthcare performance tied to improving quality?
4. How does understanding economics help healthcare leaders?
Things to Remember
1. Investigate the topic. Use articles and/or books, web sites etc., for background.
2. Don’t just report. Discuss pros and cons. Evaluate. Use your own words. Quote where appropriate. Give citations for facts and quotes. Discuss how your topic relates to material covered in the text and/or in class discussions.
3. Now and then, a student hands in a paper/project he or she did not write at all or in which large segments are copied from other sources.
Don’t do this
. It is dishonest, unfair to your fellow students, and unpleasant for both you and the instructor.
Papers that have been found to be plagiarized will receive a zero.
4. Write in your own words. Start early; talk to the instructor if you have problems.
