Instructions

To meet your senior leaders’ request, you will prepare a 10- to 12-page summary brief. A summary brief is a common document in management that is used to summarize concepts, issues, products, or projects. Summary briefs often vary in format. For academic purposes, the required format for this summary brief is current APA format, a common format for health care research and academics. Consult these resources for additional guidance on appropriate use of APA guidelines:

APA Guide—This is a tutorial on current APA style.

SONHS APA Template—This is an example to help you make sure your summary brief conforms to APA formatting guidelines.

Use the following headings to organize your summary brief for leadership:
