Annotated Bibliography Instructions

The Annotated Bibliography and the Research Paper are related assignments. The assignments will require you to research and write a review of the existing literature and then develop the information from your sources into a research paper.

Both your research and the paper will focus on the legal, social, ethical, and biblical aspects of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in healthcare, including options for Bible-based dispute resolution.

You will specifically address the issues raised in using ADR to resolve malpractice claims without, or limiting, litigation.

In the Annotated Bibliography, you will identify and discuss at least 10 scholarly sources relevant to the topic.

At least 2 of the sources must relate to your particular area of practice in healthcare (physician, nurse, allied health professional [be specific], administration, etc.), and at least 2 of the sources must relate to biblical worldview considerations of the topic.

The Annotated Bibliography documents your background on this topic and provides a snapshot of your research and analysis.
