RESEARCH CONCEPTS FOR HIM – Research Topic/Problem/Question

Submit a research problem which you will be working on throughout the rest of the semester.  The topic needs to be healthcare related (preferably Health Information, although HIM professionals can assist with all types of health-related research).  This will be 1 page or less, just so you explain why you selected the question and why it is important.  Content from Week 2 will help you complete this topic. (THE POWERPOINTS)

This assignment includes;

• The research question (30%)
• Why this question is significant – why should we care about this? (30%)

This assignment will be combined later in the term with upcoming assignments – Literature Review, a proposed Method (experiment/survey/observation etc.), and a proposed Statistical Test – to form one paper.  The total pages of content for this combined paper would be 4-8 pages.
