TITLE OF PAPER 2
Title of Your Paper
Start your text at the beginning of this line. Do not use a heading titled “Introduction” in APA format papers (American Psychological Association [APA], 2010, p. 63). Note this Title is in “Title Case” format and this heading is not bold text, but it is centered. This is where you will write the introduction. The opening paragraph is your first chance to capture your readers’ attention. An interesting introduction will make the reader feel like you have something interesting to say and will make them want to continue reading your paper.
The introduction identifies the topic you are addressing, which in this case focuses on the safe use of health information technology (HIT). It should state your intent, focus, and/or problem. The introduction indicates why the topic matters, and often signals the approach and the tone (or attitude) you will take in addressing the topic. The opening paragraph provides a road map for your readers, alerting them to what they can expect as they travel through your paper. The introduction is where you introduce the topics of the paper noted in the assignment guidelines. Do not just list the topics. Provide a brief comment about each topic and explain how it relates to your paper. A statement at the end of your introductory paragraph is your thesis statement. The thesis statement tells the reader how you will interpret the significance of the subject matter you will be discussing and the outcome after providing the information about the topic. It can also address the point(s) you are attempting to prove.
APA papers should be objective and factual, so they are written in third-person point of view. In this paper, Questions/Components 5 & 6 will be written in first-person point of view. Use third-person point of view for all other components. This is the preferred point of view for academic writing. It helps to make the writing objective rather than subjective by removing personal references. Use pronouns such as: the organization, the hospital, the patient, he, she, they, it, etc. Avoid using the words I, we, our, my, me, us, and you in academic and professional writing. When you use personal pronouns that are not necessary, you focus attention on yourself, rather than your ideas. You want your ideas to come across as factual and authoritative, not personal.

Summary
Provide a clear and concise summary at the end of your paper. A summary restates the main points you covered in your paper and any concluding thoughts you may have. The purpose is to tie together or integrate the various topics/issues you discussed in your paper. Do not introduce any new concepts or ideas. Do not provide any cited information. Do not include any famous quotes to end your paper. Maintain third person point of view. Your summary should pull it all together for your reader. This is where you will revisit the points you were trying to make and let the reader know you made them. Do not, in any case, just restate what you said in the introduction. By reading your paper, one should come away with a deeper understanding and new knowledge and ideas about the central topic of your paper – Safe HIT Saves Lives. Your summary should reflect what you wanted the reader to learn from it.

Hit “Enter” only once at the end of each source’s entry only, and the cursor will be repositioned correctly to enter your next source. Notice that each entry is formatted with a hanging indent, meaning the lines after the first line are indented.
