then narrow your focus until you zero in on the essential issues of concern .
NOTE : A literature review is a required element of this assignment . A good rule of thumb is to review at least 10 resources , beyond the textbook and class readings , to ensure the effectiveness of your research .
SUGGESTION : Begin your literature survey by accessing Keller ' s online library at www . keller . edu .
PROBLEM ANALYSIS 30 This section should provide a detailed analysis of the causes of the problem ( s ) or issue ( s ) you identified in Section II . A major objective is to clearly illustrate how you are using the healthcare course concepts ( as well as what your learned from your literature review ) to better understand the causes of the problem ( s ) or issue ( s ). Show that you are applying course material ! ( Note : Use subheadings to identify each factor you address .) POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS 30 Explore three solutions that could be appropriate ways to solve the identified problem / issue . Be sure these solutions are logical based on your analysis and that they each would effectively treat the problem , not the symptoms . Also , discuss the anticipated outcomes ( both positive and negative ) of implementing each of the possible solutions you identified . SOLUTION AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION 35 Outline your recommended solution to the problem / issue , one of the alternatives explored in Section V , or a combination of those alternatives .
State your solution clearly and specifically . Describe exactly what should be done and how it should be done , including by whom , with whom , and in what sequence . Here are some points to keep in mind as you write this section :
Have I indicated an awareness of the problem of implementation ( the how aspect )? Have I been specific enough ? For example , a general solution might state , " The healthcare manager needs to realize that his or her style should match the situation ." A specific solution would state what style is most appropriate for the situation and how you will attempt to the have the manager realize the appropriate style . What aspects of the problem remain unresolved by my solution ? Does my recommended solution and implementation plan address the problem / issues and causes identified in the previous sections ? Does my solution consider and resolve the identified pros and cons ? How will I evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented recommended solution ? What process checks or procedures will I put in place to institutionalize the improvement ? Could my solution cause other problems / issues ? What risks are inherent in the solution you recommend ? What contingency plans do you recommend ? Assess the realism of your proposed action plan . For example , is there adequate time , money , or other resources for your solution ? In addition , does your solution place too much reliance on other people being reasonable or what you think is reasonable ? JUSTIFICATION 25 Justify why your recommended solution and its implementation will solve the identified problem / issue in the organization / unit you selected .
