Objective

This Course Project gives you the opportunity to select a relevant healthcare topic with legal and/or ethical implications and analyze it in greater depth in a written format. The Research Paper should critically analyze the issues related to the topic within the context of the current healthcare environment. The PowerPoint presentation is a visual technology tool to support a live presentation to a specific group of stakeholders (e.g., leadership team, board of directors, community and public interest group, etc.). Both web references and professional journals should be considered as references. Don’t overlook the Keller Online Library as an important source of information for your Research Paper.

See a more detailed grading rubric below.

The Course Project has two deliverables due in Week 7.

1. Research Paper: The length of the Research Paper should be approximately five to seven pages, double-spaced in MS Word and include a minimum of six references in APA format.

2. PowerPoint Presentation: The length of the PowerPoint Presentation should be approximately 10–15 slides with relevant speaker’s notes and include a minimum of three audio-visual components (e.g., audio narratives can be embedded in images, figures, tables, audio links with/or without video, etc.). Follow these guidelines to create your PowerPoint Presentation.
