This week, you be completing the Research Design Alignment Table. This table ensures your Prospectus Form has a logical progression from the research problem to the purpose of the study. The table should demonstrate that the identified framework grounds the investigation into the stated problem. When completing the alignment table, make sure that the problem, purpose, and framework in the left-hand column align with the research question(s) (RQs) (all rows). Ensure that each RQ address the problem and align with the purpose of the study. To complete this section of the Prospectus Form, fill out the sections of the table that are addressed in your Prospectus Form. Once you complete the table using the content you developed on the Prospectus Form, look to see that the information across each individual row match/align with the RQ listed for that row. By row, will the variables listed address the RQ? By row, will the analysis address the RQ? By row, can the analysis be completed with the data points that will be collected? Note: At the prospectus stage, not all items in the table below can be identified (e.g., data points, data analysis). Please complete the items that you have identified in this Prospectus Form.

Review of Assignment
For this project, you will analyze a health care policy that deals with electronic information
and make a presentation to the Board of Directors about how the policy should be changed.
You will present the new, changed policy to the hospital board, explaining its purpose, its
content, how it will be deployed, and any existing problems it might be used to solve. Keep
in mind that in most hospitals, the Board is composed of community members, and not
medical personnel. For this reason, be sure to fully explain electronic information laws and
regulations and why your new policy exists.
For this assignment, do the following:
Using the PowerPoint outline you created in Week 7, finalize the presentation:
• Completely develop each of the ideas in the notes pages. Write in complete sentences.
• Provide supporting research and include in-text citations either on each slide or in the
notes pages for all facts and non-original ideas.
• Add content to the slides. Remember to keep text on the slides to a minimum (e.g., bullet
points).
• Add animations, transitions, etc. to give the presentation a professional, polished
appearance.
• Include a final slide with references in APA format.
