For this research paper  I choose option #2 to write about. I inluded the full instructions for the paper and the other options are listed. <\/u><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The book for the course we are using is Orgazational Behavior in Health Care 2nd-4th edition by Nancy Borkowski and Katherine Meese Jones and Bartlett publishers ( You can pick a theory from the book to use)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The assignment must include:<\/div>\n
2,500-3,000 words for BODY OF THE PAPER<\/span><\/div>\n
APA Format<\/span><\/div>\n
\u25e6 In-text citations (Johnson, 2018)<\/span><\/div>\n
\u25e6 Proper reference formatting<\/span><\/div>\n
10 (minimum) or 40 (maximum) references, with at least 10 being from scholarly academic journals<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/div>\n
(peer reviewed journals)<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/div>\n
\u25e6 New York Times \u2013 non-scholarly<\/span><\/div>\n
\u25e6 Health Affairs \u2013 scholarly (peer reviewed) and and resources cited correctly in APA format<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Option #2<\/div>\n
Diversity is described as the full range of human similarities and the differences in group affiliation<\/div>\n
including gender, race\/ethnicity, social class, role within an organization, religion, sexual orientation,<\/div>\n
physical ability, and other group identities. The demographics of the United States have changed<\/div>\n
dramatically in the past three decades and will continue to change. These changes are reflective in the<\/div>\n
patients we serve and our healthcare workforce. These changes are affecting the delivery of health<\/div>\n
services from both the patients and the employee\u2019s perspective.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We may have an unconscious bias that affects the way we interact with others. Identify a theory that may<\/div>\n
explain why we treat people of certain genders, gender identities, sexual orientations, races, ethnicities,<\/div>\n
and\/or ages differently. Pick one dimension to explore in depth (i.e. race, ethnicity, country-of-origin,<\/div>\n
religion, sexual orientation, sexual identity, age). Explore if this is an issue in healthcare as it relates to<\/div>\n
quality-of-care, access-to-care, workforce, and leadership. Using theory and existing literature make a<\/div>\n
case as to why this is important for healthcare organizations to address and how we can address this issue<\/div>\n
in a diverse workforce. It is recommended that you address the issue of \u201cdiversity,\u201d \u201cequity,\u201d and<\/div>\n
\u201cinclusion\u201d in your exploration of this issue.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Possible deliverables – you do not have to address these, but these are just ideas in case you are stuck.<\/div>\n
– Using current literature, describe the current environment as it relates to diversity in healthcare<\/div>\n
– How can we address unconscious biases and why is this important to the delivery of care?<\/div>\n
– What are the ramifications of unconscious biases if these issues are not addressed?<\/div>\n
– Can organizations be diverse but not inclusive? How can we address that?<\/div>\n
– What are the barriers\/facilitators to addressing these issues?<\/div>\n
– Using established literature how can we effectively address these issues?<\/div>\n
– How can organizations build open and supporting environments? <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Additionally, beyond identifying and writing about a particular theory, you will need to incorporate<\/div>\n
appropriate and supplemental information about your topic. This means you may have to find<\/div>\n
information regarding the current state of affairs; include relevant stats; other data; additional<\/div>\n
supplemental facts, etc. to make your paper persuasive and detailed enough for a Master\u2019s level program.<\/div>\n
Remember that this paper is a THEORETICAL PAPER. This class is all about theory. If you FAIL TO<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n
GROUND YOUR PAPER IN A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK \u2013 you have not met the goals of this<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n
paper. This paper is supposed to answer one of the questions below \u2013 THROUGH THE USE OF<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n
THEORY. I cannot say this enough; it is not enough to address one of the options below. It has to be<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n
substantiated through theory and peer-reviewed resources. Your opinions do not constitute a research<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n
paper.<\/b><\/u><\/div>\n
Now, you may ask yourself \u2013 what does this mean? Think of this assignment as if you are writing a<\/div>\n
professional, persuasive, concise, white paper about a particular issue for your organization. In this<\/div>\n
example, you are trying to address a problem\/issue. Now, you are not a subject matter expert. As such,<\/div>\n
you have to support your position by finding a theory and established literature to support your argument.<\/div>\n
Think of the existing literature and theory as your back-up to support you and your position.<\/div>\n
For example, say I wanted to make the argument why we should increase diversity in our topmanagement team at my organization. If I went up to my CEO and said that we should increase diversity<\/div>\n
because it is the right thing to do\u2026. that may not be a persuasive argument. What evidence do you have<\/div>\n
to support this? However, if I stated that according to the Cognitive Diversity Hypothesis, multiple<\/div>\n
perspectives stemming from different cultural backgrounds may result in creative problem solving and<\/div>\n
innovation (Miller, Burke, & Glick, 1998). This may provide help support my position. I am using<\/div>\n
existing theory which suggests that increased diversity in top-management teams may lead to more<\/div>\n
creative problem solving. This in turn may help the organization tackle the large, complex challenges.<\/div>\n
You are using existing theory and established researchers\/experts to support your position. That is what<\/div>\n
you are doing in this paper.<\/div>\n
Now, with this assignment you have to select and fully explore a particular theory; the pros and cons; the<\/div>\n
evolution of the theory, and what the theory actually says. You need to put the theory and other literature <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
in your own words; however, you must properly cite other\u2019s work (otherwise it is plagiarism). Citing<\/div>\n
material simply gives credit to those individuals whose ideas you are using. You have to emphasize the<\/div>\n
theory that you chose and make that the center of your paper because in this class you are trying to<\/div>\n
demonstrate your knowledge and expertise in this particular area (to myself and your Academic Coach).<\/div>\n
Additionally, this class is all about theory so, I want to make sure that you know how to use it properly.<\/div>\n
The use of a theory helps support your position and gives you credibility in what you write. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Suggested Paper Layout<\/b><\/div>\n
Name your file \u201cName-Paper Title\u201d …. Lord, Justin \u2013 Sample Paper<\/b><\/div>\n
It is recommended that you include the following sections in your paper:<\/b><\/div>\n
Title (Name, Student ID, Date, Paper Title)<\/b><\/div>\n
Abstract (200 word synopsis \/ summary of paper)<\/b><\/div>\n
Keyword \u2013 Identify which Paper Option you are writing about<\/b><\/div>\n
Introduction (one-two paragraphs)<\/b><\/div>\n
Body of Paper<\/b><\/div>\n
\u25e6 Review and Application of Theory (use sub-sections as you deem necessary \u2013 you need to provide enough detail that as the reader, I assume you are an expert in this area)<\/b><\/div>\n
\u25e6 You need to demonstrate a significant degree of knowledge regarding the theory and topic you choose.<\/b><\/div>\n
\u25e6 Recommend you review the existing literature to further explore that theory and how it has been applied<\/b><\/div>\n
Discussion (Tie the theory back to the case problem)<\/b><\/div>\n
Conclusion (one \u2013 three paragraphs)<\/b><\/div>\n
