Read this scenario: “Imagine that” - You are the CEO of a 100-bed locally owned community hospital. The CFO proposes, that as a cost-saving measure, you close the Hospital’s Emergency Department from 10:00pm until 6:00am. The CFO explains that the hospital is in danger of “losing a lot of money if you do not find ways to control costs.” These losses could mean that the facility would be forced to close. The Emergency Department is very expensive to operate on a 24/7 basis. However, a significant percentage of your hospital admissions come through the ER. The CFO has also done a study on the “volume” of patients that use the ER between those hours and it is very small compared to the hours that you will keep the ER open. People in the community will not be left without access to Emergency medical services when the ER is closed as there is an Emergency Department at the County Hospital which is only 50 minutes away.

The introduction is designed to tell the reader what the paper is about and why the reader should be interested in learning more. It sets the boundaries of the subject area. The introductory paragraph that begins an essay causes students the most trouble, yet carries the most importance. Start the introductory paragraph with a brief statement about the topic/issue being discussed to engage the reader with the topic. Then, in an attempt to be succinct, you might consider including a statement such as: The purpose of this paper is..... This paper will show (demonstrate).....the following points. Delete this text and type in your introductory paragraph, being sure the paper formatting is not disturbed. (Keep this to one brief paragraph).

Other Reference, Citation, APA, and Writing Tips: Include any references that you may have used for this reflection. When you do use references, it is best to utilize references dated within the last five years if able. The library resources should include evidence-based (research) or peer-reviewed journals. Internet resources may be utilized; however should be reliable resources (not Wikepedia). If specific reference requirements are noted in the assignment and rubric, assure you are citing and referencing the required references appropriately. Recommend copy/pasting the references directly from the syllabus or course to the reference section. They will need to be reformatted with first line flush left, second line of the same reference indented (and each additional line of that same reference indented). Please note when the text is utilized, each chapter should be referenced separately. The year should be noted as 2014a, 2014b, 2014c, and etc. ��References not in the syllabus will still need to be cited and included when used. Consult the APA resources available in the course to support proper citation and formatting. The references to the left are simply potential references for this paper and shown in proper APA format for your use/reference. This is also an excellent resource: � HYPERLINK "https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/18/" �https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/18/� Alphabetical order and numeric by date if the same reference such as ANA is included for multiple sources. How do I decide which sources are good to cite (watch the brief video)? � HYPERLINK "http://libraryguides.csp.edu/content.php?pid=229235&sid=1896072" �http://libraryguides.csp.edu/content.php?pid=229235&sid=1896072� Right click on this box and select delete to remove this prior to submitting your paper. �This entire list of references is an example. You must delete any you did not use. If you cite a reference, it must be included on this page. If you have a reference on this page, it must be cited in the paper. Be sure to update this template page with the references YOU used. Recommend copying them directly from the course outline if they are course resources and then editing to be sure they fit the format with double-spacing, first line left aligned for each reference and then second line and thereafter indented.
