Executive Summary: This is a one paragraph summary of your paper. Write it when the paper is complete.
With the exception of the cover page, Use an 11-point font and 1-inch margins. Also, double space throughout the entire paper
Introduction: This is a one or two paragraph description of the person you interviewed and his or her organization.
Issue: This is a one or two paragraph description of the issue you are analyzing, including some discussion of the impact that the issue has on the organization you visited.
Research: This is a 2 page description of the research you did on your issue.
This section should not be a discussion of what you think. It should contain pertinent commentary on the issue by experts and should be of two types:
A description of the impact of your issue on health care
A description of what other health care providers are doing to deal with the issue or recommendations about the issue made by experts. To the extent you can, try to identify “best practices” among health care providers dealing with your issue – ie, find out what seems to be working.
Make sure to note your sources of information, even if you paraphrase rather than directly quote. For example:
As Jones said, “Blah, blah, blah”.4 However, Smith’s point of view is that a health care provider should blah, blah, blah.2
Tie the reference notations to your Bibliography. You will have to Superscript them yourselves, as we are not using the standard footing format in Word.
Research: This is page two of your research section.
Recommendations: Now it’s your turn. This is a one page description of what you think should be done. Your recommendations should be based on your research findings, mixed with your personal views on the matter.
Bibliography
Put your references here. List them in alphabetical order by last name of the author. Use standard reference formatting.
You should have at least 5 references, and I strongly recommend going to the Health Sciences library rather than relying solely on the internet.
