Directions: The Case/Issue Analysis Project (Final Research Paper) is a major assignment required for HA4050D. It is designed to provide students the opportunity to display what they have learned in the course as well as the opportunity to apply professionalism. Because the legal profession is heavily dependent on the written word, this course has also been designated as a writing course for the university. Your ability to write in an organized, coherent manner using the APA style of writing is especially important to demonstrate. With that said, you are to pick a prior court case dealing with a healthcare issue that interests you, a current healthcare event/issue that is pending or that has been in the news, or any like healthcare issue that is worthy of writing about and would be of interest to you or others. Whatever the topic/issue, you should be able to write about it using the criteria outlined below. If the topic does not lend itself to these criteria, it is probably not a good topic to consider. The case/issue analysis selected by the student must be approved by the instructor.
