Creating a quick outline of your essay is an excellent way to stay organized throughout the drafting process.See the SAMPLE Synthesis Outline of the SAMPLE Synthesis Essay, both in Module III.See the

Organizing a Synthesis:

(To add columns and/or rows, click anywhere on the chart, and in Layout see Insert Right and/or Insert Below.)

For a synthesis

  • use at least 3 sources.

  • use at least 3 subtopics.

  • use examples from at least 2 of the sources for each subtopic.

Then each horizontal row here becomes one body paragraph.

Subtopic

People/patient safety and convenience

The system is convenient for patients with renal disorders. It reduces the energy spent in excretion which serves to reduce their hunger waste, The catheter bag can be connected directly to the waste fixture (US Fed News, 2018)


Having an efficient system of disposing return drugs reduces confusion and associated documentation. This may increase medical errors (Gondo,, 2018).

Medical wastes are compressed and sterilized before being transported to the disposal sites. This eliminates the possibility of infections in case of a spill (US Fed News, 2013).

Subtopic

People/healthcare workers

“When the waste has been collected in medical waste containers, medical staff disposes the waste by emptying it into waste fixtures … There is a great the waste may be exposed to medical staff.” (US Fed News, 2018).

Disposal of unsterilized trash bags predisposes the health staff to infections during transportation (Heimer, 1997).

Stericycle reduce the paperwork that healthcare workers have to undergo (Gondo, 2008).

Sterilizing and compressing the waste into a cake structure reduces the susceptibility of the health staff to infections when handling medical waste (US Fed News, 2013).

Subtopic

Planet

“The waste system is efficient and environmentally safe, it limits transmission of bacteria, virus, and radioactive contaminants from hospitals and medical institutions.” (US Fed News, 2018)

Reduction of waste spills protects the environment from harmful material such as virus, bacteria, and parasites from human waste and fluids. Some may be contagious and air-borne increasing possibilities of transmission in case of a spill (Heimer, 1997).

“Hospitals have enough to handle without worrying about the proper disposal of potentially infectious medical waste. That’s where Stericycle (SRCL) steps in (Gondo, 2008).

Sterilizing the waste into a cake prevents microbes from seeping into the soil to wastewater sources. It reduces the risks of damages in the future (US Fed News, 2013).

Subtopic

Profit

The invention will reduce the associated waste disposal costs for hospitals and medical institutions associated with disposing ill medical human waste increasing profit for the medical institutions (US Fed News, 2018)

Creation of efficient transport systems will minimize the risks associated with spills and damages which saves on costs (Heimer, 1997)

“Hospitals have to get rid of their waste on a consistent basis This helps make disposal service providers like Stericycle a possible long-term play.”

The case has reduced bulkiness of medical wastes especially in tssssransportation and disposal costs increasing the profit margin (US Fed News, 2013).
