Assignment: Home healthcare system

Patients often require home health care services, which can be daunting to set up within one’s home. Not only do you need to worry about the care being provided, there are considerations regarding licensure, as well as honesty and reliability of the caretakers. Sadly there are companies out there set up to conduct fraudulent activities within the homes of their patients, which is one reason that many people feel home health care should be regulated better.

Assignment Details:

You are an office manager for a surgical clinic, and many of your patients are referred to home health programs. To assist your patients, create an educational handout with checklist helping them to determine what they should look for in a home healthcare agency. Make sure you include data and research to help show the patients the needs for reliable and highly trained home healthcare workers. Your handout should include both text as well as visual aids, such as graphs and pictures.

ORDER INSTRUCTIONS-COMPLIANT NURSING PAPER

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
