Analyzing Healthcare Issues

Assessment 4

Analyzing a Current Health Care Problem or Issue

Hello Students!

Congratulations- you have made it to Assessment 4! I have attached a video describing the assessment below. Please watch the video and explore the Assessment tab. 

In Assessment 4 the following sections heading should exist:

· Title Page (Separate from the other pages)

· Body of the written assignment:

· Introduction

· Elements of Problem/issue

· Analysis

· Considering Options

· Solution

· Ethical implications (This section is separate from the discussion of the implementation) 

· Implementation

· Conclusion

· Reference Page

Write a 4-6 page analysis of a current problem or issue in health care, including a proposed solution and possible ethical implications.

In your health care career, you will be confronted with many problems that demand a solution. By using research skills, you can learn what others are doing and saying about similar problems. Then, you can analyze the problem and the people and systems it affects. You can also examine potential solutions and their ramifications. This assessment allows you to practice this approach with a real-world problem.
