Classmate’s Post:

• Phenomenological research:
  • The point of Phenomenological Research is qualitative research that studies lived experiences from a group of people or community. “Typically, interviews are conducted with a group of individuals who have first-hand knowledge of an event, situation or experience. The interview(s) attempts to answer two broad questions (Moustakas, 1994): What have you experienced in terms of the phenomenon? What contexts or situation have typically influenced your experiences of the phenomenon (Creswell, 2013)? Other forms of data such as documents, observations and art may also be used. (Chambers, 2013) This displays the how phenomenological research conducts their research. This means that people with first hand experience can give information on given topic. It is important find individuals that have extensive knowledge about said experience.

• Grounded Theory Research:
  • Is a very complex research style that is qualitative but also quantitative. “Grounded theory sets out to discover or construct theory from data, systematically obtained and analyzed using comparative analysis.” (Chun, 2019) This means that this type of research is collected from multiple different places such as purposive sampling, constant comparative analysis, memoing, and generating/collecting data. These are just come of the ways in this complex type of research.
• Ethnographic Research:
  • Ethnographic research is conducted by using interviews, observations and documenting data to come to a conclusion. This method can be used in medical research and has been said to have great outcome. “Ethnography is a type of qualitative research that gathers observations, interviews and documentary data to produce detailed and comprehensive accounts of different social phenomena. The use of ethnographic research in medical education has produced a number of insightful accounts into its role, functions and difficulties in the preparation of medical students for clinical practice.” (Reeves, 2013)

Week 1 Assignment (for paper)

USE this template

Each week you will be working towards the completion of your Capstone Final Project. During Week One you will complete the following assignments:

This week, you will develop an APA formated short paper detailing the following:

• Topic related to healthcare administration or management and your rationale for your choice.
• An outline of the project including subtopics you will cover.
• Proposed sources (where you plan to get your scholarly resources)
• List of targeted companies for research (if applicable)
• A personal Timeline of your project (use this timeline to develop as set of weekly milestones and goals so you can keep pace with the course). Attach the timeline as an appendix to your rationale paper.
• FOLLOW this template – I attached below.

Please submit this assignment as ONE word document with a clear heading above each section of the assignment. For example, Topic and its rationale is a heading, etc. There will be four headings (see above). Title you file LAST NAME_ INITIAL CAPSTONE WEEK ONE.

If you are doing a work-related project of identifying a problem and working toward a resolution, you will still follow the above steps. If you choose this option, you will follow the same steps as those for the research paper. In essence, your research paper will be the identification of a problem, the analysis of the problem, the solution design, and the implementation of the solution. This assignment is due by Sunday 11:59 pm (Eastern Time)

The topic: Must be related to health care administration. You can choose any health care related topic or issue, however you focus needs to be on administration, examples include: management, leadership, policy development, advocacy, technology implementation among others. (include as many as possible).
