Preparation:

• Read Thoroughly: Examine all case details. Note issues in service delivery and HR, highlight relevant facts, and identify key problems impacting healthcare delivery.
• Focus Analysis: Select 2-5 primary issues. Consider why they exist, their impact, and who is responsible.

Problem Identification:

• Service Delivery: Identify issues such as resource allocation, quality of care, or accessibility.
• Human Resources: Consider staff shortages, training gaps, and morale issues.
• Use course materials, discussions, and any research for thorough analysis.

Writing the Case Study Analysis:

• Introduction: Briefly state the key issues and include a thesis statement summarizing your analysis.
• Background: Provide relevant information on the healthcare transition, key facts, and important issues.
• Evaluation: Assess what aspects of service delivery and HR are working or not. Explain how specific factors affect the facility’s performance.
• Proposed Solutions: Outline realistic, evidence-based solutions, focusing on those that address the identified problems. For instance, improving training or introducing rural incentives.
• Recommendations: Offer specific steps for implementing your solutions, assign responsibilities, and suggest further actions if necessary.

Final Review:

• Ensure clarity in your thesis statement, completeness of your evidence, and cohesion across sections.
• Adjust your tone to reflect the challenges unique to under-resourced facilities, unlike a typical business case.
