Field Activity: Completed Activity – Overview, Research Support, Analysis, Recommendations Assignment Instructions
Overview
This Field Activity will aid the student in providing solutions that align with a biblical worldview to problems associated with cost, access, and quality of care.
The capstone project seeks to integrate the concepts, techniques, and knowledge of all areas of healthcare administration, with a focus on the application of strategic management.
This field activity project, which is completed in two parts, requires students to apply what they have learned throughout the curriculum. The overall objective of the capstone course is to enable students to build upon their theoretical preparation.
Each student will select an organization in which to complete a field activity. Note: The organization will remain anonymous. No part of any collection or analysis of data/information may be utilized or published beyond the course.
The field activity may be part of current employment, a formal or informal internship, apprenticeship or consultant.
The student may use his/her current healthcare organization or an organization within the healthcare industry for which he/she is not currently employed.
If the student has not been previously employed in a healthcare field or employed in any capacity, then the student should choose a healthcare organization of their choosing.
The specific name of the organization will not be revealed in the assignment to maintain anonymity
