Assignment: Letter to Stakeholders
Imagine that you feel strongly that you should use evidence-based design for your "Outpatient Clinic" building or renovation project, but many of your stakeholders are unsure about this approach, mostly because of lack of knowledge about this issue. You decide to write a letter to them that explains evidence-based design and giving them perspective on how it fits into the changing landscape of health care facility planning and design.
Write a 750- to 1,050-word letter to your stakeholders in which you do the following:
• Summarize the history of health care facility design. Emphasize major changes and approaches.
• Describe the use of evidence-based design in health care facility planning.
• Explain why you believe that evidence-based design is important for your specific facility project.
Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.
Note: This is a research APA business letter (not a paper) to your stakeholders discussing the facility you have chosen (Outpatient Clinic) and the key objectives listed for the assignment in this letter. This letter should be to convince those stakeholders of those objectives, and should contain support for your assertions and a properly formatted reference page. One of the objectives of this assignment is to make sure you learn how to write a letter in "APA Business letter format" If you do not know how to format a business letter, there are templates in Word, and also some templates available on line.
