Capstone Project
For this course project, you will select a hypothetical hospital that is failing in your area. You will prepare a report on how you will examine the challenges faced by the hospital
and recommend ways to turn the hospital around to make it successful.
You will proceed with the project as guided and provide vital information from your research and real­life experience to fill in gaps where necessary. By the end of the first week,
you should submit a complete outline and topic for the project.
You have recently graduated from AIU with a bachelor’s degree in healthcare management (BHCM). After going to a job fair, a medium­sized hospital group has called you back to
look over its systems. Your first job is to do a complete analysis of the systems.

    Your work should consist of a 3­page report with at least 5 references cited in APA style.
    Submitting your assignment in APA format means, at a minimum, that you will need the following:
    Title page: Remember the running head. The title should be in all capitals.
    Length: 3 pages minimum
    Abstract: This is a summary of your paper, not an introduction. Begin writing in third person.

    The typeface should be 12­pt. Times Roman or 12­pt. Courier in regular black type. Do not use color, bold type, or italics, except as required for APA­level headings and

    appropriate spacing, hanging indent, italics, and uppercase and lowercase usage as appropriate for the type of resource used. Remember, the Reference page is not a
    bibliography but a further listing of the abbreviated in­body citations used in the paper. Every referenced item must have a corresponding in­body citation.
    Please submit your assignment.
