What is a Case Study?
For our purposes, a case study is a real-life health care administrative situation involving a decision to be made or a problem or issue to be resolved.
Case studies in general are detailed accounts of an organization, company, industry, person or group of people, or project. The case study may include information about company objectives, strategies, challenges, results, recommendations, or more. The case study may be a real-life situation described in its entirety or so that portions of it are disguised for reasons of confidentiality. It may also be fictional.
Most case studies are written in such a way that the reader takes the place of the manager whose responsibility it is to make decisions to help resolve the problem or issue. In almost all case studies, a decision must be made, although this decision may be to leave the situation as it is. For this assignment, case studies can be brief or extensive and can range from several pages to 30 pages or more.
Where Can I Find Sample Case Studies?

Parts of the Project
This project consists of two parts:
Most but not all case studies will follow this format. The purpose here is for you to thoroughly understand the situation and the decisions/discussions that need to be made. Take your time and stay focused on your objectives.
Here, we’ll pay a bit more attention to the fourth and fifth components:
Defining the Challenge/Concern
The problem statement should be a clear and concise statement of exactly what issue or concern needs to be addressed. This is not challenging to write!
To pinpoint the challenge to be addressed, ask yourself the following questions:
The problem statement can be framed as a question (e.g., What should Sue do? or How can Mr. Smith improve? It typically has to be rewritten several times during the analysis of a case, as you peel back the layers of symptoms or causation.
Coming Up With Alternative Situations/Solutions
You’ll want to answer the following questions to come up with viable alternatives:
This paper should be about 7 – 10 pages of text.
