This final paper requires research and analysis of a case study focusing on various quality improvement issues encountered by the healthcare administrator. The purpose of the assignment is to apply course concepts in the analysis and interpretation of situations in health administration.

After reviewing the details of the case study, students should complete a professional analysis paper.
Requirements: 1,500 2,000 words, APA-compliant. The page length requirement does not include the required title page and reference pages.

Title page and page numbers
Introduction This section of the paper should provide background information of the case. This includes a brief overview of the key facts of the case. It may be necessary to use properly referenced sources to support information in this section. This component of the paper should not be lengthy but should contain enough information to create interest in the case.
Statement of the problem Define the central issue. The paper should include a concise statement of the major problem identified in the case. Many cases will involve several issues or problems. Identify the most important problems and separate them from the more trivial issues.
Causes of the problem This section provides a detailed analysis of the causes of the problem identified. Students should clearly demonstrate the use of course concepts in problem identification.
Possible solutions This section should detail a variety of solutions to the problem in addition to the ones that may be mentioned in the case. Make sure that the solution addresses the CAUSE of the problem. The analysis should address what should be done, by whom, and in what sequence. Students should also consider the pros and cons of all possible solutions.
Recommendations and Conclusions This section of the case analysis process involves making recommendations based on your analysis. Obviously, the quality of your recommendations is a direct result of the thoroughness with which you prepared the case analysis. This section of the analysis should tell why your solution and implementation will work. A major objective of this section is to show how course concepts are applied to reach a workable solution. The conclusions and recommendations should be supported by references, course readings, and lecture notes.

    Provide introduction and rationale on issue provided to the writer. in problematizing, use evidence (citations) to support 1) what the problem is, 2) why one should care, and 3) what the impact of this problem is. Then, make the case for why change (your solution) is needed. (This is already completed and will be provided to the writer)
    Then propose a solution to the problem. Use evidence to support why the solution you are proposing is well-suited to address this problem. (This will be provided to the writer)
o    You should use at least 5 sources of evidence for your outlined/proposed solution. Your solution should be supported by examples of evidence (e.g., academic case studies, prior academic research/literature, manuals, resources with measurable outcomes or findings, etc.) (Some sources will be provided to the writer)
    When thinking and writing about the stakeholders related in the project, identify both internal and external stakeholders. Include those who will be directly impacted by your change project as a stakeholder. Also include those whose helps you think you need (those you need to enroll) to make your change project successful. Try to think about all possible stakeholders, but focus on writing about those you’ve identified as being most important to your specific project. (Stakeholder will be provided to the writer)
    Be sure to write out your assumptions about what each stakeholders’ needs are, and where they might be resistant or hesitant to help. Include ideas you have about overcoming some of these hurdles or resistance. Cite resources to support, as it makes sense.
