Research Assistance for Masters Midterm Paper
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I'm in need of a dedicated researcher to assist with a theoretical paper using a single case study. Please note that AI cannot be used in this process; we must rely solely on established theories. This is an Organizational Behavior in Healthcare masters class
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficient in academic research
- Strong understanding of theoretical frameworks of healthcare
- Experience with case study research
- Excellent at sourcing non-AI-based data (THIS PAPER WILL BE RAN THROUGH TURNITIN AND CAN NOT BE MORE THAN 20% AI).
- Able to work independently and meet deadlines. PROJECT IS NEEDED BY TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2025 AT 3:00 PM CST).
Description: 3000 words, excluding references. Must have 10 (minimum) to 40 (maximum) scholarly references ONLY from academic peer-reviewed journals and cannot be more than 10 years old. APA format.
Format/Outline of paper:
Abstract (200-word synopsis/summary of paper)
Keyword: List your Option Section (below)
Introduction (one-two paragraphs)
Body of Paper (use subsections as you deem necessary)
- Review and Application of Theory (This should be a substantial portion of your paper; use subsections as you deem necessary)
- You need to demonstrate a significant degree of knowledge regarding the theory and topic that you choose.
- Recommend you review the existing literature to further explore that theory and how it has been applied.
Discussion (Tie the theory back to the case problem)
Conclusion (one-three paragraphs)
References (APA style)

"Communication is perhaps one of the greatest challenges facing managers and leaders today" (Hicks, 2011). In healthcare, this is perhaps even a greater challenge because miscommunication can lead to ineffective management, misunderstandings, and contribute to poor patient outcomes. Communication in healthcare goes beyond managers and employees but includes patients, caregivers, families, and everyone involved in the continuum of care. Utilizing theory or a conceptual framework, explore the communication process, including but not limited to feedback loops, types of communication models, and communication channels. Be sure to include barriers to communication between the sender and receiver, such as environmental and personal factors. To narrow the scope of this paper, make sure you identify the parties involved in the communication process (physician/patient) and utilize literature to cite specific challenges in these communication feedback loops. Examining the literature for best practices, identify opportunities to facilitate effective communication between multiple parties. These parties that have been studied and validated.
Possible deliverables - you do not have to address these, but these are just ideas in case you get stuck.
1. What issues lead to communication failures?
2. How can parties overcome barriers to effective communication?
3. How does communication differ in a healthcare setting (i.e. differing levels of authority, such as top-down communication or team based)?
4. What are the different forms and levels of feedback?
5. How is the selected communication framework utilized in effective communication?
6. If discussing communication between providers and patients, how does the lack of health literacy play a role?
7. What has the literature identified as best practices to overcome ineffective communication?
