The Name of Your Assignment (DO NOT ENTER WEEK 3 ASSIGNMENT HERE)

Introduction

Who is your chosen vulnerable population and why do they need the proposed service? The introduction has five important responsibilities: get the audience ‘s attention, introduce the topic, explain its relevance to the audience, state a thesis or purpose, and outline the main points.

Recap of the Model Program

Please Prepare a recap of the model program for your community that you originally shared in the Week 2 written assignment.  As stated in the Week 2 directions, changes to the potential program can be made as you research and develop the focus of the program.

Three Critical Barriers

Analyze and discuss at least three critical barriers that impact the health and well-being of your chosen group; one must be a micro-level (individual) barrier that is financial, one must be a macro-level (community/state) barrier that relates to access and funding for care, and  the third barrier may be one of your choosing.

Proposed Solutions

Discuss at least one proposed solution for each barrier. Your solution for the micro barrier must include an analysis of various potential funding options (both independent and integrated). Your solution for the macro barrier must include an analysis of financing resources for health care.

Analysis of Regulatory, Legal, Ethical, and Accreditation Requirements

Research and analyze the regulatory, legal, ethical, and accreditation requirements and issues for the service(s) offered in your proposed program. Discuss how each will impact the management of the program.

Conclusion

Conclusions wrap up what you have been discussing in your paper. After moving from general to specific information in the introduction and body paragraphs, your conclusion should begin pulling back into more general information that restates the main points of your argument. Conclusions may also call for action or overview future possible research. The following outline may help you conclude your paper:

In a general way,

Restate your topic and why it is important,

Restate your thesis/claim,

Address opposing viewpoints and explain why readers should align with your position,

Call for action or overview future research possibilities.

Here you will provide a topic sentence providing a fresh rephrasing of thesis statement. Then provide supporting sentences. Summarize or wrap up the main points in the body of the topic and explain how your ideas fit together. Lastly, provide closing sentence(s) with final words that connects back to the introduction, and provides a sense of closure.

There are other options available on the OWL at Purdue website, which is a go-to website for anything APA and writing when the UAGC Writing Center doesn’t cover it. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/engagement/index.php?category_id=2&sub_category_id=2&article_id=60

Your assignment should be a minimum of three pages in length (excluding title and reference pages) and should include a minimum of three scholarly sources cited according to APA guidelines as outlined in the Writing Center.

Please note: All assignments in this course are progressive; therefore you should use the same population selected in your Week 2 assignment. The Week 2 assignment’s contents do not need to be re-submitted with this assignment.
