This assignment allows us to view several historical/memorable occurrences in the healthcare field that have/will shape our future landscape. Each assignment has its own set of rules, but the general/basic rules still apply:
References should be in APA format. A cover page is not required, but here is a link to sample APA paper.
Originality is key. We regularly cross-check submissions against each other, past semesters, and other courses. Trying to cut corners or copy is just not worth it.
All work should be submitted in MS Word format.
Double check/proofread for grammatical issues.
The submission must be at least 300 words long (but no longer than 500).

All students review the hospital closure details found here:

Students with a last name beginning with letters A-M may choose any hospital closure numbered 1-5 on the list.
The submission should include these components:
Introduction/Synopsis
o This should include a history of the hospital and details about its closure. Yes, students must include information beyond what is provided in the above link and note Wikipedia is not a reliable source (but is a good starting point to gather general information). The grader will be looking for additional references beyond the course textbook and the provided link.
Using the course textbook, discuss one major concept that you feel the selected organization did not master which eventually lead to the hospital closure. Be sure to substantiate your response with additional external sources (if necessary).
