Ashford 4: – Week 3 – Assignment

Senior Project Progress Report
Complete a two to three page (excluding title and reference pages) report on the progress you have made to date on your Senior Project.  You must use a minimum of three scholarly sources. Your report, and any citations used, must be in APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Your progress report should cover the following:

1. Topic:      Identify the topic that you have selected for your Senior Project and      provide a brief explanation for why you have chosen to address this topic      *This may be copied from the Week Two assignment if evaluated as      Distinguished Performance. Otherwise, make adjustments per Week Two      feedback.
2. Organization Specific Rationale: Provide a brief overview of the health care      organization that you have selected for your Senior Project including a      summary of the challenges and/or opportunities impacting the balance      between health care costs, quality, and access to services that the      organization is currently facing. The challenges and/or opportunities      should directly relate to your rationale for why you have chosen your      topic (i.e., training program) to help the organizational leaders manage      this challenge/opportunity. Challenges and/or opportunities should be      grounded in the research (e.g., web-based resources, electronic articles,      or personal interviews). The more informed you are, the better prepared      you will be to complete your Senior Project.
3. Training:      Identify the audience for your training program and provide a brief      outline of the topics it will address. Include a minimum of three to five      learning outcomes that are targeted for your identified audience.      Specifically, what do you want your audience to know and/or be able to do      after they have completed training? How does this training program align      with the overall challenges and/or opportunities that the organization is      facing? Overall, how will the training program benefit the organization?
