Outline Assignment Instructions

Overview

You will complete a full-sentence outline in preparation for the Final Document Assignment on the topic you selected during Module 3.

Instructions

The outline must include a thesis statement, the research question(s)/issue(s) being answered/addressed, how much space will be allotted for each section of the paper, and a preliminary reference list of at least 15 sources (that are less than 10 years old).

The full-sentence outline is essentially the same as the alphanumeric outline. The main difference (as the title suggests) is that full sentences are required at each level of the outline. This outline is most often used when preparing a traditional essay.

Thesis Statement:

Question(s)/Issue(s) Being Addressed:

I. Several advancements have contributed to the health informatics field..

A. Implementing Electronic Health Records (EHRs) has allowed medical clinics and hospitals optimum data retrieval.

1. EHRs provide healthcare professionals with quick and easy access to vital medical data on patients. This allows doctors to make more informed decisions and provide better care for their patients.

Full-sentence outlines are often accompanied with an APA reference list in current format on a separate page. Quotes within the outline must also utilize current APA in-text citations.

Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
