IHP 340 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an introductory-level analysis of published research findings. Statistics play an integral role in the healthcare
industry. For those entering the health field, understanding statistics is a must. Evidence-based healthcare is the current theme and is leading us into the future.
For professionals in this field, seeking answers to health-related questions in scientific literature is common practice. While deciphering the information found in
these publications can be challenging, it all starts with learning basic statistical concepts. This course will help you develop a baseline understanding of statistics.
You will explore the areas of descriptive statistics and basic inferential statistics, along with variability and statistical significance. However, the ultimate goal is to
provide an introductory-level analysis of published research findings.
You will select an article from a list provided by your instructor. The articles in the list are all peer reviewed, published within the last three years, and related in
some way to the health professional programs at SNHU. Your analysis will be based on the statistical concepts you learn over the term and will include
identifying and interpreting statistical findings. You will discuss the hypothesis of the study, the methodology used to conduct the study, and the statistical
analysis used, including software. You will also discuss the study’s results, limitations, conclusions, and next steps. This assessment will showcase your ability to
read, comprehend, and interpret research done in the many fields of healthcare. Additionally, this assessment will demonstrate your ability to articulate
research findings to individuals who may not have the background necessary to understand basic healthcare research.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted prior to the final project submission to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions.
These milestone will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final project will be submitted in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Interpret data results from peer-reviewed healthcare research for determining the statistical significance of the findings
Analyze common research methods used in the collection of healthcare data for determining their advantages and disadvantages in data-collection
situations
Analyze healthcare research for its contributions to scientific literature and future investigations
Assess the impact of limitations within various healthcare studies on research conclusions

Qualitative/Quantitative Dissertation Checklist
· The purpose of the Dissertation checklist is twofold:
· Students: The checklist consists of components from the rubric and provides “tips” under each of the required rubric components. It is important for students to have consistency and clarity as they compose their dissertation for the chair/committee to read.
· Reviewers: The second focus is to provide the committee with a document which includes the same expectations so the number of times a dissertation is returned is minimized. As reviewers conduct a review of a dissertation/proposal they can use the checklist to help students recognize missing components and areas for improvement.
· The following provides guidance for writing and reviewing qualitative and quantitative studies. The areas relative to a specific methods (qualitative or quantitative) are noted in the highlighted areas where applicable as follows:
Qualitative
Quantitative
Qualitative/Quantitative Comments
· All items may not be relevant to your particular study; please consult with your chair for guidance.
· The checklist items may not necessarily be in the order that works best for your dissertation. Please consult with your committee and the dissertation guide; however, the checklist should work well in the absence of other considerations.
· Instructions for Students:
· Indicate on the checklist the page number (use the actual document page number, not the MS Word pagination) where the required information is located.
· Respond to comments from the chair, committee member and/or URR in the comment history box. Do not delete previous comments(just add your response and use some means to clearly identify your remarks (use different font/bold/italics/color; not highlights as those become very difficult to read comments through)
· Note: If your chair requires you to develop a change matrix, make sure you capture the chair and/or member’s comments, the specific actions you have taken to address the comments and the page number where your chair can find the changes that you have made in your document. (Note: specific actions are the actual changes in the document and not generalized comments such as corrected, deleted or changed).
· Instructions for the Chair/Committee Member and/or URR
· Provide specific feedback in the comment history column. Do not delete previous comments - add your response and use some means to clearly identify your remarks (different font/bold/italics/color).
· If you made detailed comments on the draft (using track changes and comments), you can make reference to the draft rather than restate everything in the checklist comment history section. A way to show repetition of errors would be to attach the original review along with the current review in TaskStream or email.

IHP 340 Final Project Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of an introductory-level analysis of published research findings. Statistics play an integral role in the healthcare
industry. For those entering the health field, understanding statistics is a must. Evidence-based healthcare is the current theme and is leading us into the future.
For professionals in this field, seeking answers to health-related questions in scientific literature is common practice. While deciphering the information found in
these publications can be challenging, it all starts with learning basic statistical concepts. This course will help you develop a baseline understanding of statistics.
You will explore the areas of descriptive statistics and basic inferential statistics, along with variability and statistical significance. However, the ultimate goal is to
provide an introductory-level analysis of published research findings.
You will select an article from a list provided by your instructor. The articles in the list are all peer reviewed, published within the last three years, and related in
some way to the health professional programs at SNHU. Your analysis will be based on the statistical concepts you learn over the term and will include
identifying and interpreting statistical findings. You will discuss the hypothesis of the study, the methodology used to conduct the study, and the statistical
analysis used, including software. You will also discuss the study’s results, limitations, conclusions, and next steps. This assessment will showcase your ability to
read, comprehend, and interpret research done in the many fields of healthcare. Additionally, this assessment will demonstrate your ability to articulate
research findings to individuals who may not have the background necessary to understand basic healthcare research.
The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted prior to the final project submission to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions.
These milestone will be submitted in Modules Three and Five. The final project will be submitted in Module Seven.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Interpret data results from peer-reviewed healthcare research for determining the statistical significance of the findings
Analyze common research methods used in the collection of healthcare data for determining their advantages and disadvantages in data-collection
situations
Analyze healthcare research for its contributions to scientific literature and future investigations
Assess the impact of limitations within various healthcare studies on research conclusions
Prompt
Write an analysis of a peer-reviewed article published within the last three years that is related in some way to the health professional programs at SNHU. You
will select this article from a list provided by your instru.

The Research Report
The Research Reportserves as the deliverable towards partial completion of the requirement for the course. The requirement of your research is expected to be built and constitutes the five-chapter model. This document is not intended to be a one-time or static document. The Research Reportneeds to be at least 14 pages and is written in the past and present tense, as appropriate.
The Research Report should be a complete and concise document that establishes your credentials as a relative expert in the domain of your study. In all cases, a good understanding of the specific domain will be necessary for the successful completion of your study. It is vital that you stay current in the literature germane to the study you are conducting and update the chapters accordingly.
The following is the general structure of the Research ReportChapter 1- Background/Introduction (3– 4 pages)
In this section, present enough information about the proposed work so that the reader understands the general context or setting. It is also helpful to include a summary of how this document is organized. Introduction
This section introduces the reader to the structural content of your Research ReportProblem Statement and Purpose of Research
In this section, present a concise statement of a research-worthy problem to be addressed (i.e., why the work should be undertaken – don’t state “it was a requirement of the professor”). Follow the statement of the problem with a well-supported discussion of its scope and nature. The discussion of the problem should include: what the problem is, why it is a problem, how the problem evolved or developed, and the issues and events leading to the problem. Your problem statement must be clear, concise, to the point and able to be articulated in no more than three sentences.Relevance and Significance
This section provides the necessary support for both the problem statement of your study. Consider the following questions and support your discussion by citing the research literature:

Qualitative/Quantitative Dissertation Checklist
· The purpose of the Dissertation checklist is twofold:
· Students: The checklist consists of components from the rubric and provides “tips” under each of the required rubric components. It is important for students to have consistency and clarity as they compose their dissertation for the chair/committee to read.
· Reviewers: The second focus is to provide the committee with a document which includes the same expectations so the number of times a dissertation is returned is minimized. As reviewers conduct a review of a dissertation/proposal they can use the checklist to help students recognize missing components and areas for improvement.
· The following provides guidance for writing and reviewing qualitative and quantitative studies. The areas relative to a specific methods (qualitative or quantitative) are noted in the highlighted areas where applicable as follows:
Qualitative
Quantitative
Qualitative/Quantitative Comments
· All items may not be relevant to your particular study; please consult with your chair for guidance.
· The checklist items may not necessarily be in the order that works best for your dissertation. Please consult with your committee and the dissertation guide; however, the checklist should work well in the absence of other considerations.
· Instructions for Students:
· Indicate on the checklist the page number (use the actual document page number, not the MS Word pagination) where the required information is located.
· Respond to comments from the chair, committee member and/or URR in the comment history box. Do not delete previous comments(just add your response and use some means to clearly identify your remarks (use different font/bold/italics/color; not highlights as those become very difficult to read comments through)
· Note: If your chair requires you to develop a change matrix, make sure you capture the chair and/or member’s comments, the specific actions you have taken to address the comments and the page number where your chair can find the changes that you have made in your document. (Note: specific actions are the actual changes in the document and not generalized comments such as corrected, deleted or changed).
· Instructions for the Chair/Committee Member and/or URR
· Provide specific feedback in the comment history column. Do not delete previous comments - add your response and use some means to clearly identify your remarks (different font/bold/italics/color).
· If you made detailed comments on the draft (using track changes and comments), you can make reference to the draft rather than restate everything in the checklist comment history section. A way to show repetition of errors would be to attach the original review along with the current review in TaskStream or email.
