Part 1: Practice-Based Problem

Problem of Interest

Healthcare Administration Problem

Background

 Using 1 source dated within the last 5 years, write 1 paragraph describing the industry-wide problem.

 Source must be listed in the reference list and Appendix A.

 Using the industry-wide problem, write 1 paragraph focusing on the historical impact of the operational problem on your selected organization.

2

Operational Problem

 Using only 3 sources dated within 5 years, describe a very specific operation problem in less than 1 page.

 All sources must be listed in the reference list and Appendix A.

3 Ideal State of Operations

Professional Practice Gap Statement

 Using 1 source, any date, any industry, describe the ideal state of operations the your organization is aiming to achieve.

 Source must be listed on the reference list and Appendix A.

 Using 1 sentence, summarize the operational problem, cite using 3 sources from the operational problem.

 Using 1 sentence, summarize the ideal state of operations, cite using 1 source from above.  All 4 sources must be in the reference list and Appendix A.  This must only be 2 sentences.

4 Summary of Evidence

 In less than 1 page, summarize all the evidence collected to this point; • the problem of interest • the negative impact of the operational problem on your selected organization • the ideal state of operations

5

Purpose of the Integrative Review

Integrative Review Question(s)

 Write 1 open-ended question aimed at solving your organization's operational problem.

 Using 3-5 sentences, state the purpose of this study.

6

Theoretical and/or Conceptual Framework

Description

Theoretical Alignment Table

Practice-based Problem Constructs Theoretical Framework Elements

 Using 1 source, describe the theoretical framework that aligns with your operational problem constructs (elements).

 Source must be listed in the reference list and Appendix

 List at least 2 core problem elements (constructs) and 2 theoretical framework elements that align.
