This week, you begin development of your Scholar-Practitioner Project: Health Care Administration Leadership Theory. In order to achieve success in this program and as a future leader in health care administration, developing your skills for effectively assessing current literature and evaluating problems is critical. One of the goals of the Scholar-Practitioner Project is to help you develop such skills.

For this Project Assignment, think about common trends in health care administration leadership or critical areas of need for leadership in the field. Prepare a literature review of scholarly articles related to your topic. This review should contain a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed or scholarly resources. Additionally, based on your conducted review of the current literature, create a problem statement that addresses identified gaps while incorporating implications for positive social change. Located within the resources for the week, you may find the information from Walden’s Online Writing Center helpful for your completion of the Assignment.

• For this Project Assignment, think about common trends in health care administration leadership or critical areas of need for leadership in the field. 
• Prepare a literature review of scholarly articles related to your topic in health care administration leadership. This review should contain a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed or scholarly resources. 
• Based on what you find in the current health care administration leadership literature, create a problem statement. It must address identified gaps while incorporating implications for positive social change.

• The Problem Statement should include: 
  • An explanation of the specific problem that addresses identified gaps within the literature. 
  • An explanation of how your problem statement incorporates implications for positive social change. As students at Walden, you are preparing to become agents of social change. Based on your leadership topic, the research you just did, and the gaps you found, how would you be a social agent for change?

Topic 1: Chapter 9: “Case Study – Performance Review”

The performance review program at Valley Urgent Care was developed some years ago and has generally served the organization well. The supervisors took the responsibility to conduct timely, meaningful reviews very seriously. The review process consisted of ratings on the following skills and competencies:

• Customer service

• Clinical abilities

• Communications with patients and fellow employees

• Attendance

• Work attitude

However, the employees and supervisors have commented that the review process lacked relevance and was in need of updating. They indicated that there were not enough evaluation categories to adequately evaluate the complexity and variety of jobs at Valley Urgent Care. Additional categories that were suggested included computer skills, compliance with HIPAA, willingness to take on additional duties, and leadership.
