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- reviewed research articles for each critical element to ensure that your research will produce factual, authentic, and relevant content. It is possible that a single resource may be applicable to 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 Your annotated bibliography should be submitted using the Module Two Annotated Bibliography Template in 12-point Times New Roman font and follow the most current APA formatting guidelines. Include a minimum of 3 factual and relevant peer-reviewed resources in support of your topic. APA style citations need to be included/n
