Business Research Paper: Draft Assignment

This week’s assignment is the fourth assignment for your business research paper/project. This week is the development of the first draft of your business research paper. You have been working on your topic for the past month, and this is the culmination of all of that work into a complete document. The following criteria must be met:

• Your paper needs to be 1250-1500 words in length, and an effective evidence-based business research paper needs to be this length.
• To develop your draft, use
  1. The logic model that you completed in Module 3 to develop the outline of your paper, and
  2. The literature review that you completed in Module 4 to provide the evidence/information/data to support your hypothesis/claims being made throughout your draft.
     • You need to make sure that you cite these 6-8 credible, primary peer-reviewed sources in support the information that you provide in your paper, plus any other sources that you use to address the below criteria (you can never have too many credible sources to support your information).
• Within your draft make sure you cover the following 6 criteria (and make sure you provide APA formatted citations for this information throughout your draft):

1. Describe the health care administration issue or barrier you are addressing.
   1. Provide the pertinent background/introductory information regarding your topic/issue of choice, and define your specific hypothesis/thesis/focus of your paper towards the end of this section
2. Discuss resources needed, including key stakeholders, and the role they play in your plan.
   1. This should be expanded from the information provided in your logic model
3. Identify any external or internal regulations that must be considered to ensure compliance with any legislative, institutional, or agency policy or expectation.
   1. Considering that the healthcare industry is heavily regulated by federal and state governments, and there are numerous laws in place related to a multitude of aspects of the healthcare industry, make sure you describe the regulations/laws that specifically related to your chosen barrier/issue.
4. Describe the organizational and strategical development structures/processes that address the problem.
   1. Once you describe the issue/barrier (criteria 1), the inputs and stakeholders (criteria 2) and any governing laws (criteria 3), you need to discuss programs/policies/processes that are have been implemented, are being implemented, and/or could be implemented to address this issue or alleviate the barrier.
   2. Make sure you include detailed information regarding the success or failure of these programs/policies/processes are addressing the issue of focus.
5. Present strategies for communicating your proposed plan
   1. After describing the available evidence/data regarding your chosen issue/barrier, develop a plan to address this issue/barrier and then describe potential strategies that you could communicate this plan to healthcare researchers, healthcare providers, administrators, and/or patients.
6. Use the research gathered in your literature review to provide support for paper.
   1. To effectively address the above criteria, you need to provide evidence/data/information from the credible, peer-reviewed primary sources you reviewed as part of Module 4’s assignment. You needed to cite the 6-8 sources you included in your Module 4 literature review assignment, as well as any other credible sources that you need to use to address these criteria

• Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.
• Make sure you accurately cite the information of all of your information throughout your paper, directly after you used that information.
  1. Direct quotes are rarely, if ever, used in scientific research papers. You need to paraphrase the information into your own words and then properly cite the source of that information.
  2. Properly cite the source(s) of your information for your paper directly after you use that information in your timeline, and list those sources in a properly formatted reference section.
     • Consult the APA Style Guide (Resources -> Student Success Center -> The Writing Center) for detailed information related to citations and reference section formatting
