The direction for the term paper will be: Take an aspect of health care quality or risk management and expand on it. In the past, students have submitted papers on topics such as:
Nosocomial Infections and how to determine their causes and solutions ; balanced scorecards, a deeper dive into the use of one of the measurements we studied , Google Medical errors and discuss the issues around that and what tools could be used to decrease or eliminate the errors.
You could also take one of the Critical Concepts or Discussion Questions and research an aspect of that. It’s very broad; I want students to select a topic in which they have an interest. (This is why we do the proposal; so I can be sure students are heading in the right direction!)
