Information Technology and the revolution in healthcare
Chapter 1 in the textbook discusses research and specifically how one can benefit from the research of others. As you prepare to develop your proposal, you will be required to complete a literature review in your topic area. To organize your resources, you must keep track of bibliographic information such as:
1. The author’s name
2. The title of the article
3. The name of the journal and the year, volume and issue numbers, and page numbers
4. Keywords and phrases that capture the focus of the article
5. If applicable, the Internet address at which you found the article
6. A brief summary of the article’s important points
For the first discussion question, you identified topics in health care administration that are of interest to you. Find one journal article on one of these topics (you discussed in Identification of Health Care Organization Module #1 (CM.L ) and share the above bibliographic information
The above description refers to chapter one, i have provided the book and the course outline.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
