Description
Preparing for the Literature Review: Developing an Annotated Bibliography (Continued)
In Week 4, you developed an annotated bibliography citing literature that supports your dissertation topic. This week, you will add to that annotated bibliography by including research articles that use a similar theoretical foundation and data collection methods to what you are proposing for your study. To prepare for this Assignment, find a minimum of two peer-reviewed articles that use a similar theoretical foundation to what you plan to use, and two peer-reviewed articles that use the same type of data collection and/or data analysis methods that you plan to use in your dissertation.
The Assignment (2 pages):
· Submit annotated citations for the four new articles you have identified for your bibliography.
· Include a brief summary of how each of these articles informs what you hope to accomplish.
Note: For ideas on how others have handled the Literature Review and Annotated Bibliography, you might find it useful to browse through the dissertations in the Walden Library and see how others have approached these sections.

The authors of this book point out that the United States has valuable ideas on how to reduce cost
of health. However, the ability to implement the ideas is the major problem facing the country.
The book echoes the fact that the bundled health system is the most efficient method that can be
used to curb the high cost of health if carefully implemented. The authors go further to explain
what this system entails. They illustrate that the system facilitates single payment for an episode
of 'bundles' of related care services. The authors also look into some of the challenges that have
been facing this system.
Based on the research done by the RAND team, the authors reveal that the first
evaluation phase of the system encountered complex issues which hindered its implementation.
They acknowledge the fact that the system may require more time and effort to achieve it. This
book has rich information on the bundled payment system and how the USA has struggled to
implement it. The authors portray a lot of knowledge in the health challenges facing the US and
why this system is an ideal solution to these problems. This book therefore offers a valuable
source of information to anyone desiring to know about the system and in writing this article.
