Week 8 – Final Term Paper

NOTE:  You have an approved outline and comments from the faculty on any  changes to make to that outline as you approach this week’s final  paper.  Do use those comments from the faculty as they are important for  your success in this class, in this final  term paper product.

GUIDANCE:  Submit a 7 to 10 page paper detailing a  “Louisiana Medicaid Program” and  describe its worth/purpose, the data the program collects, explain how  the data is analyzed/interpreted, describe if the program data is  additive or not, explain the program structure, detail who the  stakeholders/customers/target audiences are, specify if a survey is  involved, and point out the program benefits, and what, if anything, you  would change. 

Additionally, discuss the current status of the program (drawing board, in testing, fielded, being cancelled, etc.). 

Finally,  provide your recommendation as to the feasibility, needs, costs and  benefits of the program. For example, is the project or program worth  pursuing, a waste of taxpayer money, a great success, or in need of  major changes? Use your primary text as the basis for formulating your  social program evaluation.
 

The content of the paper should demonstrate your understanding of  program evaluation processes discussed over the past eight weeks.

Incorporate at least four reference from articles listed within the online APUS library.
