Resource 1: CLC Health Issue Analysis Overview

Group work has benefits and liabilities. EVERYONE assigned
to a CLC is expected to equally participate in the work in terms of time and
quality of effort. Each participant has strengths and it is reasonable to
apportion the work to make best use of this. Some are natural leaders. Our
strengths can be our greatest liabilities: No one wants to be bossed around no
matter how skilled the boss is. Honest communication is critical to effective
group work. The best way to avoid conflict is to set very clear expectations up
front. Then, if someone does not do what is expected him/her, he/she can be
referred to the original agreement rather than have the confrontation become
personal.

Course instructors are able to observe the group process in
the CLC forum. If the work takes place outside the forum, this information will
be absent. Be certain (even if communicating via e-mail, phone, or
face-to-face) to record the communication in the CLC forum.

CLC Project Overview

The purpose of this assignment is to critically analyze a
health care issue through the focus of major concepts from each Topic. There
are six components to this assignment after the CLC agreement is signed and the
topic is identified. It is not expected that every member of the CLC group will
contribute to each assignment, but that assignments will be divided fairly and
equally among the group. Each of the written components of the CLC project will
be 500-1,000 words. These papers should be in APA format with a title and a
reference page. An abstract is not required. An introduction is required ONLY
for Part 1 and is not required in any parts thereafter. It is the intention
that if one were to take the six parts of this assignment and put them
together, a comprehensive and cohesive analysis would be produced. Part 1 is
worth 3 points and each of the subsequent parts (2-6) are worth 4 points each.

Topic 1

Check into the CLC group and provide contact information and
describe prior experience, if any, with health policy. Locate and read the CLC
Agreement provided by the instructor, located within the Additional Resources
Folder in Canyon Connect. Choose one member to transfer the document to the CLC
forum. Decide upon the process needed to fill out the contract. Everyone should
participate. Before filling out the agreement, it may be helpful for each
student to describe the most difficult, frustrating, helpful, or beneficial
apects of working on a collaborative project. Getting this type of information
out in the open ahead of time may help to prevent conflict later on. Since no
one is angry yet, you can comfortably list what is likely to make you angry and
also what would make you satisfied.

Complete the CLC Agreement (except for the final block,
which is used at the end). Select someone to submit the CLC Agreement by the
end of Topic 1.

Topic 2

Initiate a conversation regarding potential topics of
interest. This should be a health issue with national and international
relevance that will be the basis for your final project. It may be helpful to
identify a number of topics of interest and have individual group members do a
quick survey of the literature to be sure that there is current information
available. Revise the CLC Agreement with the choice of the topic identified in
the title and re-submit the CLC Agreement.There is no formal writing requirement
for the topic selection. It is merely a brief paragraph declaring your
identified topic.
