Question
Overview
To prepare for your final project, you will begin by creating an outline. This outline will take the
form of an annotated bibliography due in Module Two. This annotated bibliography will help
you prepare for Milestone One, due in Module Three, which focuses on quality care.
Prompt
For your final project, you will research a gap in access to quality, equity, or efficiency of
healthcare (including existing initiatives in place to address the gap and economic and regulatory
factors that are currently in place to address the gap). To begin this project, you must first
conduct some background research into the gap and the impacted population.
Select a healthcare delivery process gap and population affected from the list below. This will be
the basis of your final project, the healthcare delivery systems research paper.
Option One: A gap in quality related to care coordination for individuals with chronic illnesses
Option Two: A gap in equity related to mental health access for veterans
Option Three: A gap in efficiency related to rising cost of pharmaceuticals for the aging
population
In this annotated bibliography, you will choose resources to help you explain why the chosen
topic is a gap in healthcare and analyze the specific population impacted by the issue.
Specifically, you should select resources that will help you address the following:
Describe a specific gap in the delivery of healthcare. Include the specific population affected by
the gap.
Briefly describe the history of this gap in access to healthcare. Has this been an issue historically,
or is it a modern issue?
Explain the impact that the socioeconomic background of the population has on their access to
healthcare.
Describe how the healthcare delivered to the population is affected by the gap in access.
Predict any potential implications if this gap in access is not addressed.
Information concerning the creation of annotated bibliographies may be found on Purdue's
Online Writing Lab (OWL) website, Annotated Bibliographies. Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.
Annotated Bibliography
Provide evidence of your research in an annotated bibliography. Include a minimum of one peer-

more than one critical element.
Record the bibliographic information accurately utilizing APA formatting.
Compose a paragraph after each instance of bibliographic information where you:
Briefly summarize the content of the source.
Concisely explain the source's relevance to the topic.
What to Submit
