CJ 550 Final Project Milestone Four Guidelines and Rubric

The milestone assignments in this course, including this one (Introduction), are to help you prepare for the final executive summary presentation. In the executive summary, you will present a proposal for addressing or improving a quality patient indicator within a healthcare organization. The executive summary presentation includes an introduction, evidence-based, peer-reviewed support, an implementation plan, and considerations of organizational and leadership roles. The Introduction sets the stage for your proposal, briefly laying out for the reader (or the healthcare executive) the importance of the issue at hand. As this is a scholarly endeavor, you must use at least two evidence-based sources in this opening or introduction. All APA requirements must be met. Feedback that is provided by the faculty in this and future milestones is to be incorporated into the final project assignment.
