Evolution of the problem: Potential causes for the problem of lack of funding

Great job on the last paper. Before you start this paper please see the attached for issues from last paper. For this case your are asked to identify potential causes for the problem you began addressing in module 1, Inadequate funding has severe impacts to the performance of the healthcare organizations. analyze the causes and explain how you would go about assessing these causes in the context of a specific organization. Again, you are asked to refer to practice but also integrate literature that deals with this issue and the knowledge you acquired in the previous courses in the BSHS program. ASSIGNMENT EXPECTATIONS Length: This assignment should be between 2-3 pages (500-750 words) in length, excluding references. References: At least two references should be included from academic sources (e.g. peer-reviewed journal articles). Organization: Subheadings should be used to organize your paper Format: APA format is recommended. While APA formatting of references is not a requirement, the references need to be presented in order using a standard citation style (APA, AMA, MLA etc). When material is copied verbatim from external sources, it MUST be enclosed in quotes. The references should be cited within the text and also listed at the end of the assignment in the References section. See Syllabus page for more information on APA format. You will be expected to provide a scholarly basis for your response. Your opinions should be justified with evidence from the literature. References should be cited properly in the text of your essay, as well as at the end. Several scholarly references should be cited for this assignment. Please limit your response to 3 pages maximum. Your case paper will be further evaluated based on the following criteria: Precision (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor) • Each question and or assignment requirement is addressed in the paper • Accuracy of your answers, key points and supporting discussion Clarity (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor) • The paper is well organized, concise, reads clearly, and it is not confusing. Breadth (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor) • The paper presents appropriate breadth covering the assignment questions/requirements Depth (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor) • Presents key points that lead to deeper matters and issues • Integrates several points into coherent conclusions Critical Thinking (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor) • The paper demonstrates good understanding and synthesis of the module background material • Logically incorporates key concepts presented in the background material into the overall analyses, key points and supporting discussions • Presents well reasoned conclusions and position as well as convincing arguments in support of the same Writing Mechanics • Grammar (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor) • Spelling (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor) • Vocabulary (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor) • Referencing (Excellent; Good; Average; Poor) Additional considerations to keep in mind while working on your case assignments: Originality and Use of directly quoted material • The purpose of each assignment is for you to present your understanding and synthesis of the background material and key concepts. Accordingly, this must be accomplished substantially in your own words. • Use directly quoted material sparingly and only when preserving the exact words of an author is necessary. For purposes of this course, rarely should directly quoted material represent more than 5-10 percent of your entire case paper’s content. Composing a paper patched together from mostly quoted material is not acceptable. • Be sure to properly reference all directly quoted material and include the in-text citations. All paraphrased information also requires reference citations at the end of the paraphrased section. Grades • A paper that answers all assignments questions and supports the same with good key points, well supported discussions and quality references will earn a solid “B” grade. • Please remember that “A” papers are exceptional works that go beyond just answering the questions and provide insightful answers.

For this Module 1 SLP you are asked to further discuss the extent and the impact of this problem. How often is it encountered?  What are its negative consequences? Who is affected by the problem? What could be its implications for the mission and vision of the healthcare organization where the problem occurs?
