Option #1: Concept Map for Patient Health Advocacy and Assistance

Develop a concept map that illustrates and analyzes patient advocacy and assistance for both the consumer and provider. The concept map should include:

1. The importance and drivers for patient advocacy for consumers.
2. The importance and drivers for patient advocacy for healthcare organizations/providers.
3. The benefits of patient advocacy and assistance for each stakeholder.
4. The challenges and potential obstacles for each stakeholder. Use shapes and arrows to group ideas and link concepts.
5. Write a 1-2 page summary that discuss how your concept map illustrates the relationship of these concepts and why it is important.
6. Include in-text citations in the body of the outline and cite them on the reference page. Use two to three credible sources. The CSU-Global Library is a good place to find these sources.
7. Format your entire paper according to the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA (Links to an external site.).
8. The CSU-Global Library Guide (Links to an external site.) has a research guide for Healthcare Management and Administration (Links to an external site.)along with access to databases, videos, company and industry information.
