Where it fits in NURS 718
In the published schedule, Case Study 3 is one of 8 graded written assignments in NURS 718. It follows Week 4 Case Study 2 and comes before Week 6 HMIS Project Part 1 Introduction.
How NURS 718 Week 5 Case Study 3 is graded
Liberty grades Case Study 3 with the rubric attached to the assignment in Canvas, worth 100 points in the published guide. That is about 10% of the course's 1,010 points. The rubric rows are the real instructions. Draft against them, and you will rarely be surprised by the grade.
Course grades in NURS 718 use Liberty's point scale: an A is 940 to 1010 points of the course total. Missing the length or source minimum usually costs points on several rows at once, which is why the checklist below starts with them.
Timing in the published guide: Each course module/week begins on Monday morning at 12:00 a.m. (ET) and ends on Sunday night at 11:59 p.m. (ET). The final module/week ends at 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday. Check the due dates in your Canvas section, which govern.
The NURS 718 Week 5 method, step by step
Read the case for facts, not impressions
List the facts of the case first. Analysis that rests on a misread detail is the most common way case answers lose points.
Name the central problem
Decide what the core problem is and say it plainly. The rest of the analysis should be organized around it.
Apply the course framework
Bring the course material to the case: the framework, theory or principle the week covers, applied explicitly to the facts you listed.
Weigh the options
Compare alternatives before recommending one. Each option needs its advantage and its risk stated in the terms of the case.
Recommend and justify
Choose one course of action and defend it with evidence (The textbooks and other sources as needed). Include how you would implement it and how you would know it worked.
Answer every question asked
Check the case questions one last time. Each one needs a direct answer, clearly labeled, within Not set in the guide; every case question thoroughly addressed.
A structure for NURS 718 Week 5 Case Study 3
Word targets are planning numbers for about 1,100 words of body text, set by the length in the guide; the rubric decides where to spend more.
| Section | What it must do | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | The case and its informatics question. | ~130 words |
| Answers to the case questions | One heading per question. | ~680 words |
| Recommendations | What should change, and who owns it. | ~180 words |
| Conclusion | Link to your own HMIS project. | ~110 words |
A topic angle that works
Use the conclusion to connect the case to the HMIS project you are about to start. A sentence on how the case's lesson will shape your own system's planning shows the instructor you are synthesizing, not just answering.
Model paragraph with notes
An original paragraph written by our desk to show the register that earns full rubric credit. It is study material: learn the moves, then write your own.
The case's security breach began with a shared login on a workstation in a busy unit, which Tan and Payton list among the most common internal threats to health data.1 HIPAA's Security Rule requires unique user identification for exactly this reason, so the organization's convenience practice was a compliance failure.2 Badge tap-in with automatic logout would have kept the convenience and closed the gap, a design lesson I will carry into my own project's access plan.3
- Identifies the root cause.
- Ties it to regulation.
