| Welcome to Unit 2!
In Unit 1, we reflected on: Research and Practical Applications
- Fields of interest
- Future planning
- Area of interests for capstone paper
In addition, in the discussion forum we addressed the terminal objectives and how will accomplishing the objectives support your success in management. We also discussed and shared ideas on what risks or challenges might a health care manager encounter if he or she has not mastered these objectives
In the live chat, I address the units’ objects and included pointers on how to be a successful student through self-motivation, learned successful time management strategies and study skills.
In this unit, you will learn about- Research types

| DISCUSSION:
This units discussion requires you to review the assignments for this course, accessed by clicking on the Assignment tab at the top of your screen, and then selecting each Unit# Assignment, reviewing the description, type, and deliverables. Explain your proposed approach for conducting research necessary to develop quality deliverables, and explain how the information gleaned will support your career development in health care management. Please review the approach proposed by other students, providing objective feedback on opportunities for improvement. |
| ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION:
Locate at least 4 contemporary, peer-reviewed articles or dissertation or thesis research studies that are qualitative in nature (e.g., case studies, historical) related to your topic of interest for your paper and PowerPoint presentation.
Write a paper that contains the following sections:
- Summarize the type of study and phenomenon of interest.
- Discuss whether the sample and population used were appropriate.
- Summarize results, limitations of results, conclusions, and applications.
- Compare the results, conclusions, and applications among all 4 studies in a summary paragraph.
Prepare 4 PowerPoint slides that detail the most applicable results associated with each qualitative study to your topic of interest and area of application or function related to healthcare.
Paper: The student paper should address the assignment description and be a minimum of 3 full content pages, not counting the title and reference pages. The paper must be supported by a minimum of 3 references with matching citations in the body of the work.

In this unit, you will learn about- Quantitative Research Methods Evaluation and Statistical Applications
- Research area of interest with qualitative and quantitative research
- Research factors and types
- Statistical analyses
- Draw conclusions
|
| 2. Unit Objectives |
ü The topics/objectives for this unit are as follows:
- Critique various statistical models relative to the data collected
- Assess various methods of collecting primary and secondary data
. |
| 3. Discussion Board & Chapter Readings |
| DISCUSSION BOARD-
he Discussion Board (DB) is part of the core of online learning. Classroom discussion in an online environment requires the active participation of students and the instructor to create robust interaction and dialogue. Every student is expected to create an original response to the open-ended DB question as well as engage in dialogue by responding to posts created by others throughout the week. At the end of each unit, DB participation will be assessed based on both level of engagement and the quality of the contribution to the discussion.
At a minimum, each student will be expected to post an original and thoughtful response to the DB question and contribute to the weekly dialogue by responding to at least two other posts from students. The first contribution must be posted before midnight (Central Time) on Friday of each week. Two additional responses are required after Friday of each week. Students are highly encouraged to engage on the Discussion Board early and often, as that is the primary way the university tracks class attendance and participation.
The purpose of the Discussion Board is to allow students to learn through sharing ideas and experiences as they relate to course content and the DB question. Because it is not possible to engage in two-way dialogue after a conversation has ended, no posts to the DB will be accepted after the end of each unit.
Reflecting on the focus and content of this course, what is an important challenge facing management of health care organizations today, and how would you go about addressing it? Explain.
In your own words, please post a response to the Discussion Board and comment on other postings. You will be graded on the quality of your postings.
For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
