Introduction
In your professional life, you will need to find credible evidence to support your decisions and your plans of action. You will want to keep abreast of best practices to help your organization adapt to the ever-changing health care environment. Being adept at research will help you find the information you need. For this assessment, you will research a health care problem or issue faced by current health care organizations.
Instructions
Note: The requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide. At a minimum, be sure to address each point. In addition, you are encouraged to review the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be assessed.
For this assessment, research best practices related to a current health care problem. Your selected problem or issue will be utilized again in Assessment 4. To explore your chosen topic, you should use the first two steps of the Socratic Problem-Solving Approach to aid your critical thinking.
1. Select one of the health care problems or issues presented in the Assessment 02 Supplement: Applying Research Skills [PDF] Download Assessment 02 Supplement: Applying Research Skills [PDF]resource. Write a brief overview of the selected health care problem or issue. In your overview:
· Summarize the health care problem or issue.
· Describe the professional relevance of this topic.
· Describe any professional experience you have with this topic.
2. Identify peer-reviewed articles relevant to this health care issue or problem.

· Make sure the references are listed in alphabetical order, are double-spaced, and use hanging indents.
5. Summarize what you have learned while developing an annotated bibliography.
· Summarize what you learned from your research in a separate paragraph or two at the end of the paper.
