Capstone – The graduate integrates and synthesizes competencies from across the degree program and thereby demonstrates the ability to participate in and contribute value to the chosen professional field.
Introduction:
This will be the main portion of your capstone in which you explore your work and explain it to your reader. Each of the task parts builds on the other; however, you may wish to write the parts out of sequence depending on your writing style. This format is similar to requirements for grant proposals or publication, so this may be applicable to your future work in health informatics or health information management (HIIM).
Task:

1. Describe the clinical area or workplace setting of the topic area.
a. Discuss roles of any participants or key people in the clinical area or workplace.
2. Explain how the topic area evolved within the field of HIIM.
3. Explain how your topic area influences the clinical area or workplace.
4. Explain challenges that are inherent in this topic area.
a. Discuss why these challenges occur.
b. Discuss the negative impact of these challenges.

E. Develop an abstract (maximum length of 150 words).
F. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.
Note: When bulleted points are present in the task prompt, the level of detail or support called for in the rubric refers to those bulleted points.
Note: For definitions of terms commonly used in the rubric, see the Rubric Terms web link included in the Evaluation Procedures section.
Note: When using sources to support ideas and elements in a paper or project, the submission MUST include APA formatted in-text citations with a corresponding reference list for any direct quotes or paraphrasing. It is not necessary to list sources that were consulted if they have not been quoted or paraphrased in the text of the paper or project.
Note: No more than a combined total of 30% of a submission can be directly quoted or closely paraphrased from sources, even if cited correctly. For tips on using APA style, please refer to the APA Handout web link included in the General Instructions section.
