Paragraph #1: Identification of an organizational problem involves basic components of the actual research problem. There are two basic components that must be identified: 1. The organization-based activity or condition that is causing a problem; 2. The problem itself.
Sentence #1: A sentence clearly stating the organization-based activity or condition that is causing a problem supported by a citation. Sentence #2: A sentence clearly stating the problem itself supported by a citation. Sentence #3: A sentence clarifying the problem supported by a citation. Sentence #4: A sentence clarifying the problem supported by a citation. Sentence #5: A sentence clarifying the problem supported by a citation.
The requirement for Paragraph #1 is that you provide between 3 and 5 sentences. The assumption is that all the sentences, whether 3 or 5, address the same problem; all citations within the last five years.
Paragraph #2: A gap with existing research refers to the fact that previous research has not already provided information on the problem that you are proposing. This step ensures that you will add to the body of knowledge in the health services administration field.
