This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a draft of your business plan and an income statement containing your business plan financials.
You must intend to raise money for your startup company. You can start with money from friends and family but at some point you will need funds from outside investors, either angels or venture capitalists, depending on how much money you project you will need to raise. Another possible angle is to develop money through crowdfunding, assuming your product meets the demand of such audiences.
Before you can raise money, you must develop a business plan that convinces an investor that your company will succeed.
Section 1: Business Plan (MS Word or equivalent)

Paper details:

For this assignment you will create an annotated bibliography relating to interrelationship among quality care, health care teams, finances and technology in contemporary work environments. You may select two of the areas listed above and link them to your current nursing practice. Example: How does information technology link to the interrelationship of quality care, health care teams and finances?

Determine how they are linked together. (quality, teams and finances)
Once you determine how they are linked define how information technology supports the linkage.
Your articles should help you support the linkage.
If you cannot determine the linkage, your articles should support this.

An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. For the purpose of this assignment, we will only be using journal articles. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph: the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the article.

Objectives

Define the interrelationship among quality care, health care teams, technology, and finances in contemporary work environments.
Demonstrate the ability to think and act critically and creatively about nursing practice issues.

Due Date: Day 6 (Saturday) of Week 5 by 8:00 a.m. (Eastern Standard Time (EST) of the US).

Briefly review 3 articles that relate to health care equity, accessibility, or cost that are linked to your project or your practice. (articles must not be older than 5 years: 2009-2014).

Write a third paragraph reflecting your thoughts about why you selected the article. The assignment is a total of nine paragraphs, as you will write three for each annotated article.
Your annotated bibliography should be in APA format, you do NOT need to include a cover page or running header, but spacing, and bibliography (the three references) need to be in APA format.
You can find an example of an annotated bibliography on the Purdue OWL website provided in the assignment directions.
