HCM 345 Journal Guidelines and Rubric

Journals are private between the student and the instructor. These journals are meant to offer you an opportunity to reflect on real-world experiences related to healthcare administration as well as the opportunity to put your critical thinking skills to work by expressing your thoughts in response to the questions assigned for you to answer.

Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

• Application of healthcare reimbursement concepts that are relevant to the journal prompt


• Personal reflection about course content from real-world examples you have witnessed, read about, experienced, or expect to experience

Approach these activities as (a) an opportunity to reflect upon and apply what you learn each week based on the assigned readings, discussions, and activities, and (b) an opportunity to share your knowledge and expertise based on your educational and professional experiences in the past. As a successful professional, you will need good reflective and writing skills. Journal activities offer you the opportunity to further develop these skills.

Guidelines for Submission: Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins.
