Executive Summary

Executive Summary, in 1-3 paragraphs, is placed in the beginning of the report—before Introduction. A well-written Executive Summary is in less than one page. A well-written Executive Summary, in less than one page, should be concise and in 1 to 2 paragraphs. You give an overview on your paper and highlight key points. By doing so, your reader will have an idea on what your paper is all about and a desire to read the detailed information in your paper. There is no in-text citation under the section of Executive Summary.

Introduction

Introduction, in just one paragraph in less than ½ page, provides sufficient background on the topic and preview major points. In other words, you need to describe what will be covered in the paper. Be concise and to the point.

Researches and Describes Solutions Implemented at Five Other Hospitals

Researches and thoroughly describes solutions implemented at five other hospitals in the U.S. that were dealing with these same issues. Hospital association or nursing association or union or university are not hospitals. Please do not present any solutions from both organizations.

Hospital A (e.g. ABC Hospital- Casper, WY)

Present the solutions implemented in Hospital A located in the US. Remember to cite your source properly. (e.g. Boost retirement vehicles & Flexible scheduling)

Hospital B (e.g. DEF, Baltimore, MD)

Present the solutions implemented in Hospital B located in the US. Remember to cite your source properly. (e.g. Mentoring program & Grief counseling)

Hospital C (e.g. Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital- Tucson, AZ)

Present the solutions implemented in Hospital C located in the US. Remember to cite your source properly. (e.g. Flexible work schedules & The Magnet Recognition Program®)

Hospital D (e.g. Innova Hospital, Fairfax, VA)

Present the solutions implemented in Hospital D located in the US. Remember to cite your source properly. (e.g. Incentives for retention & Professional development)

Hospital E (e.g. Texas Children’s Hospital, Houston, TX)

Present the solutions implemented in Hospital E located in the US. Remember to cite your source properly. (e.g. Offering tuition reimbursement & Mentoring Program)

Thoroughly describes two solutions that are the most viable for Ashford General Hospital to implement within the next two years. Two solutions must be selected from five solutions implemented at above five hospitals. If you present a solution that is not presented in the previous section, you won’t earn a point. (e.g. Offering tuition reimbursement from Texas Children’s Hospital & Incentives for retention from Innova Hospital)

Creates two thorough stakeholder group analyses, including at least five stakeholder groups for each selected solution. You are supposed to present stakeholder analysis for both solutions—one set of stakeholders analysis for each solution.

Stakeholder Analysis for the Frist Solution (e.g. Offering tuition reimbursement)

The stakeholder analysis for the first solution should include at least five stakeholder groups involved (e.g. patients, hospital executive administration, accounting, Human Resources (HR), marketing, third-party payers, etc.). As part of your analysis, address the following questions:

• Who is impacted?

• What change processes may be required?

• What fiscal impact would occur?

• What are the ethical, legal, and diversity risk factors involved?

Stakeholder Analysis for the Second Solution (e.g. Incentives for retention)

The stakeholder analysis for the second solution should include at least five stakeholder groups involved (e.g. patients, hospital executive administration, accounting, Human Resources (HR), marketing, third-party payers, etc.). As part of your analysis, address the following questions:

• Who is impacted?

• What change processes may be required?

• What fiscal impact would occur?

• What are the ethical, legal, and diversity risk factors involved?

• What fiscal impact would occur?

• What are the ethical, legal, and diversity risk factors involved?

Recommends a fully relevant solution with a detailed justification that thoroughly explains why it is the best and most viable solution given the financial impact, HR issues, and interpersonal dynamics of hospital personnel, cultural shift, and change management. Based upon the stakeholder analysis, you are supposed to cherry pick the final winner from the two solutions. (e.g. Based upon two stakeholder analyses, you recommend tuition reimbursement as the best solution for AGH.)

Conclusion

Your conclusion, in just one paragraph, should be a summary of your essay and should repeat the main ideas. Do not introduce new ideas in Conclusion. Since it is a summary, there should have no in-text citation.
