Title of the Paper

Use this paragraph to introduce your reader to the topic of your Capstone paper. Completely describe the intention of your paper and what your paper aims to fulfill. You must support your writing with scholarly references in proper APA formatting. This assignment requires a minimum of twelve (12) written pages and a maximum similarity score of 30%. You should use the information you learned in the first four weeks of this course, but you cannot directly recycle any of your writing. Use direct quotes sparingly and paraphrase whenever possible.

Organizational Structure

Use level one headings for each of the required sections within your Capstone paper. You can create level two headings as you feel necessary to help guide your readership.

Existing Plans

Be intentional with each heading and make sure all sections of the assignment are complete. Remember to appropriately reference your information throughout your paper.

Environmental Factors/Assessment

The below quotes are just to guide your journey as you progress through your final assignment here at Franklin University. Please replace these with the content for each applicable section.

Leadership Challenges

"Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder. Write your challenges in this section.

Legal and Ethical Challenges

"In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.” -Thomas Jefferson

Performance Challenges

"It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change."-Charles Darwin

Operations Challenges

"A leader is best when people barely know he exists. When his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves."-Lao Tzu

Information Systems and Technology Challenges

"The pessimist complains about the wind. The optimist expects it to change. The leader adjusts the sails.” -John Maxwell. This is how I’ve felt about every EHR implementation…

Human Resources Challenges

“The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born."

-Warren Bennis

Financial Challenges

"The best executive is the one who has sense enough to pick good men to do what he wants done, and self-restraint to keep from meddling with them while they do it."

-Theodore Roosevelt

Recommended Change Strategy Actions

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that count."

-Winston Churchill. In this section, I highly recommend using level two headings to separate and clearly explain each of your recommendations. See example below.

Recommendation: Evaluate Outpatient Services

My first recommendation is to evaluate our current outpatient services and Imaging services. Our clinics close at 3:30pm which make it difficult for many patients to obtain an appointment. In a study by Wilson (2023) the author found that patients delayed regular check-ups due to inflexible clinic hours. Note, this is just a fictious example.

Recommendation: Improve Recruitment

Again, this is just an example on how to use level two headings.

Conclusion

This is your final paragraph to pull all your hard work and research together. Write your elevator speech again with your advanced perspective from week two and clearly summarize your paper. After you write this paper, this paragraph, proof read your paper, and make sure you have all your references in order, YOU ARE DONE! Deep breath, big woosah, and smash that high five. I’m pulling for you 😊 - Dr. Wilson
