Overall Comments:

Thank you for your work on this directional strategies report for Parkland Health and Hospital System.

Through reading your paper, I could learn that this organization is in Dallas. However, little else can be learned about the organization. Please do include a brief introduction to the organization at the beginning of each assessment paper. Include such basic facts as the location, number of patients served, number of employees, etc.

The writing of this paper is much improved since your last submission.
