Implementing Telemedicine Services At Kaiser Permanente Case Study
PART 1
Submit your project selection with the title of your paper in APA format to the instructor in the designated Module 2 folder and explain why you chose this option.
Part 2 – Will be used in Part 3 and Part 7
Consider a change that you would like to implement in an organization that is within the field that you will enter when you finish your degree. This week, research the type of change that you are going to suggest: a green energy initiative, a workplace fitness initiative, or a work-life balance initiative are some ideas, but feel free to come up with a change of your own that you would like to see. This week, you will research an angle on the change or the organization: some examples to consider are the type of change itself, how your organization implements change, or how change has been implemented in other organizations within the same industry. Think of a career you would like to pursue—this can be the one you currently have or a dream job or even a job that interests you, but that you may not ever actually do.
Step 1 – You will find a peer-reviewed recent article (no more than 5 years old) to support your career aspirations.
Step 2 – You will format a full APA citation for this source.
Step 3 – Read and think about your article. If you want to, take notes as you read, highlight key points, and make marginal comments, evaluating and making judgments about passages.
Step 4 – Now write a paragraph analyzing how this source will specifically support your ideas. Discuss its strengths and its weaknesses for convincing the senior administration (your audience).
Criteria and Format
This assignment should be 150-200 words in length or about 6 – 10 sentences.
Include a double-spaced title page with three lines centered halfway down the page stating First Research Source, your first and last name, and the date.
Double-space the one to two paragraphs.
This evaluation of your first source should be mostly in your own words, but you may include one short, partial quotation or paraphrase with a proper APA in-text citation if you wish (not required).
On a separate page titled Reference create the full citation of your first source in proper APA-6th format.

Your task is to summarize at least four paragraphs from the source you cited in PART 2 into no more than two sentences, using no direct quotations. Remember to cite your source using proper APA formatting.
Part Three Instructions-Paraphrasing: As the third part of your Critical Thinking exercise for this module, open the Word document titled Prewriting, Summarizing, and Paraphrasing and add this “Paraphrasing” title right after your summarizing. Your task is to paraphrase each individual sentence below and cite each one in Proper APA format.

Original – “Several kinds of databases are being used in education today. Most libraries now have journals, periodicals, books in their research databases or they access larger research databases such as Lexis Nexis” Aitken, 2017, p.30). Paraphrase & cite.
Original – “Our research suggests that a global mind-set, in which people see themselves as part of an international network, helps provide an environment that is conducive to dispersed teams” (Siebdrat, Hoegl, & Ernst 2016, p. 68). Paraphrase & cite.
Original – “Terrorism expert Bruce Hoffman writes that the most compelling reason that terrorism is so hard to define is that the term’s meaning has frequently shifted during the past 200 years” (Barnett & Reynolds, 2011, p. 16). Paraphrase & cite.
PART 4
Your role and task: You are preparing your Portfolio Project and know you need to get on the agenda for next meeting of the committee that will decide to implement your idea. Write a letter to the head of the committee indicating that you would like to introduce your idea at the next committee meeting.
Be sure to think carefully about your audience and address what you see as their needs in the information you give. Carefully proofread what you write and make sure no steps are left out.
Part 5
Submit an outline of your Portfolio Project
PART 6
An annotated bibliography is an organizing tool that is helpful when you research sources for a project. An effective annotated bibliography is used to compile research sources in one location and provide the researcher with quick access to the information contained in each source.
Find 5 sources you might use for the final portfolio assignment pertaining to your topic. Sources should be scholarly and focus around a narrowed issue or question of inquiry.
Cite the source in proper APA format. The citations should be organized in alphabetical order by author, just as the sources would appear in an APA References page.
Follow with a brief annotation that summarizes the source in a paragraph of 3 to 5 sentences; explain the source’s relevance and importance to your issue. Do not copy and paste the abstract. Ideally, all of the annotation should be in your own words with thoughtful, helpful, and complete annotations of 100-150 words per source.
The annotations for each source should follow an academic style. This means that you must construct, with elevated and sophisticated language, correct grammatical sentences that effectively summarize what each source has to say. Do not simply put bullet point notes on the sources—read them and then write a brief summary (but not a rehash of the abstract), noting information from the source that will help in putting together your journal article review and the final assignment. Remember to write in the objective tone, without inserting first-person pronouns. The summary is about the source (not about you or the process you undertook to find the source). Additionally, you should explain how each source is relevant to the issue selected for your final paper and what it adds to the knowledge about that issue. Include a title page as usual, but a References page is not required for this assignment since the references will be noted in the annotations.
PART 7
For the Portfolio Project, you are creating a proposal written in formal style and using at least 6 research sources to support your proposal. You are expected to cite those sources both in the text of your proposal and on the references page at the end.
A number of assignments for this course are projects that build this one, so as you work through this course you will collect source material and ideas that relate to this project.
Topic: You will use the information you locate to make a persuasive argument regarding a suggestion of your design to your organization. This argument should support, explain, and defend your campaign idea with solid facts and logical argument based on source evidence. You will create a suggestion based on source material and create a proposal paper that works to persuade the board of directors at your business to adopt your suggestion.
The Principle Elements:
Cover/Title page
Table of Contents and List of Figures
Executive Summary (Never longer than one page)
Body (3-4 pages)
References (at least two recent, reliable research sources from within the last five years must be cited)
Appendices (if any used)
The paper should be well written, formatted according to CSU-Global APA Guidelines, and no more than 10 pages total – including all bullet points above. Refer to the Portfolio Project rubric for grading criteria.
