1. Discussion: Issues facing rural health
Discussion: Issues facing rural healthDiscussion: Issues facing rural healthAssume you work
in a rural health care center. The facility just received a generous grant from a health care
foundation. The funds from this grant must be used to acquire new technologies to foster
better health outcomes for residents who live in remote areas. The Director of Nursing has
formed a committee to research types of patient care technologies that are available to
manage and monitor patients upon their release from care. You have been asked to look
into the different types of technologies available for patients who are discharged from the
hospital and cannot travel hundreds of miles for frequent follow-up appointments. You
were also asked to provide evidence-based research to your selections.Write a3- 4 page
report for the committee that provides your findings:Summarize the issues facing rural
health care providers’ efforts to deliver quality care.Explain the use of information
management tools and technologies to monitor and improve outcomes.Recommend three
new technologies that improve patient outcomes post-hospitalization, in rural settings.
your recommendations for new technologies with evidence-based research.Format this
report following current APA style, paying close attention to headings and subheadings,
paragraph structure, and proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.Additional
RequirementsYour report should meet the following criteria:Contain between (3-4
pages).Include a minimum of 3 references. (These must be recent, from within the past five
years.)Be double-spaced in Times New Roman font, 12 point.ORDER NOW FOR
CUSTOMIZED, PLAGIARISM-FREE PAPERSYou 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

2. 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.
