You can chose a medical disease or we can use Type 2 diabetes or Type 1 diabetes Please see attachment to see what the paper requires

• Write a two page research report on a medical topic using 2-3 professional medical journals such as JAMA, Nursing, Dental or Physical, Occupational or Speech Journals as your sources.  The textbook for this class is NOT a professional journal and should not be used for anything other than helping choose your topic. (This does not mean that your topic must be in the textbook)
• 4) Use APA formatting.  Directions can be found at:  http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01
• When writing the paper use medical terminology. For example: “A typical patient diagnosed with malignant melanoma is prescribed a treatment plan that includes both radiation and chemotherapy.” rather than “if a doctor tells you that you have skin cancer you will probably have to have chemo”
• Use 5 medical terms in the paper that are made up of words parts. Underline and bold these terms. At the end of your paper, list and define (in your own words) the five terms that you have highlighted. Do Not use Latin or Greek terms such as cortex which  has no prefix, root or suffix.  Each word should be made up of two or three word parts. Provide a complete definition of the whole term in your own words, a definition of each word part and identify each word part as a root, prefix or suffix.   Use the example below and do not deviate from its format.

The purposes of this assignment are to a) help you effectively use research resources through library data bases and search engines to complete course requirements; b) improve your critical thinking skills; and c) develop your effectiveness in writing about topics relevant to course objectives and healthcare information systems. The paper explores, in greater detail than the required readings and class discussion, any healthcare information system topic identified in the course text or syllabus. Your job is to select a current issue in healthcare information systems, provide the necessary background and your position, along with a conclusion and future direction. I encourage you to select a subject in which you have interest and approach this assignment as a potential publishable work. Review the video on building the Big Picture Model, found in the “Start Here” section of this classroom. Read the syllabus and skim the text to locate a topic you would like to research and write about. Your final paper is 15 pages double-spaced (excluding the executive summary, footnotes and references) with a 10 or 12 point font. Tables, graphics, and diagrams must be placed in the paper as attachments. They do not count in the page length. There is no set organizational format for the paper but your work should include, at a minimum, the following: Executive summary (1 page) Background/Introduction Statement and analysis of the issue / case (including your analysis of the sources of the problem, stakeholders, etc…) Position (a clear statement of what your position on the issue) Support for your position along with anticipated obstacles, stakeholders, and facilitating factors (designed to persuade the reader to your thesis and drawn from evidence and the literature) Conclusion and future direction References While there is seldom a “right” or “wrong” position in a given paper, students are expected to clearly and articulately support their argument using course and external materials. It is very important that you include not only background on the selected issue, but your specific assessment, recommendations, ideas, and suggestions. It is your original analysis, grounded in the class material and peer-reviewed publications , that is the hallmark of solid graduate level social science writing and will serve as the main basis for your grade. Select credible information/data and use (and cite) your research in support of a persuasive stance on the topic. Edit and proofread your written work to ensure correct grammar, spelling, word choice, and sentence clarity.
