Research Paper Guidelines
You have been hired as the vice president for operations for Intravalley Health. One
of your first tasks is to educate the board of directors concerning the evolving
nature of healthcare and how it impacts the health system.
Identify a professional or scholarly journal article that addresses a topic within one
of these broad areas:
·
Change management, conflict resolution, strategic communication,
preparedness, or crisis management in healthcare.
·
Human resources specific to healthcare: physician relations, staff recruitment
and retention, in-service training, policy-making and enforcement, counseling and
professional development, credentialing, or unionization of professional staff.
·
The patient experience and satisfaction surveys.
·
Medical Tourism.
Access, review, and integrate the findings of the journal article into a 10-12 page
analysis of your topic. Your exploration should include the background of the issue,
relevant laws and regulations, and strategic and operational impacts on health
services organizations.

Make sure to identify the journal article reviewed in your introduction.
The board of directors consists of preeminent social scientists, therefore your
report should be delivered in APA format, including an abstract and references. The
page count pertains to the body of the paper only.
Some administrative notes:
·
There is a tendency to default to a hospital setting when considering issues in
healthcare. You can examine other sectors such as long term care, palliative care,
retail clinics, or community health centers. Make sure to position your paper from a
managerial perspective.
·
It is expected the depth of the research goes beyond your studies in the core
courses (MSM students) or HCAD 600 (MSHCA students). Please review the policy
for re-use of prior course work – even if it is your own.
·
In order to provide a comprehensive assessment, the selected journal article
should be supported (or refuted) by other scholarly sources.
·
As you know from your Library Skills course, sources such as Time, Forbes,
the Washington Post, and other newspapers, while often useful information
resources, would not be appropriate for this paper. As a general guideline, if you can
find the resource at a magazine stand, it probably is not a professional journal. The
articles you choose should be recent (last 5 years) and should be primary rather
than secondary. (Please see the APA manual if you do not recall the difference.)
