Research and select the journal articles you will use as sources for your Case Study. Prepare a two page paper in APA format, that summarizes the articles
and prepare an annotated bibliography.
Write a case analysis of the following article (which can be found in the University of Arizona Global Campus Library ProQuest database):
Souza, M. & McCarty, B. (2007). From bottom to top: How one provider retooled its collections [Electronic version]. Healthcare Financial Management, 61(9),
67-73.
Complete a summary of the case study that identifies the key problems and issues, provides background information, relevant facts, the solution employed,
and the results achieved.
Identify and explain the accounting practices California Sutter Health used in defining and solving its collection problems.
Develop an alternative solution based on your own research using three to five academic sources from journals, professional organizations, and websites.
State your informed opinion of the approach used by California Sutter Health, and provide support using concepts from your research and personal
experience.
I would suggest one article for each bullet point. I am not too worried about the format of your annotated bibliography. But you do need to include the
required information in an annotated bibliography. Here is a good site to check out on annotated bibliographieshttps://owl.purdue.edu/owl/general_writing/common_writing_assignments/annotated_bibliographies/index.html (Links to an external site.)
For your annotated bibliography, you need to also evaluate the source. Here is what Owl Purdue website says about annotated bibliographies:
Summarize: Some annotations merely summarize the source. What are the main arguments? What is the point of this book or article? What topics are
covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say? The length of your annotations will determine how detailed your summary
is.
For more help, see our handout on paraphrasing (Links to an external site.) sources.
Assess: After summarizing a source, it may be helpful to evaluate it. Is it a useful source? How does it compare with other sources in your bibliography? Is
the information reliable? Is this source biased or objective? What is the goal of this source?
