Today's goal: Annotate credible sources and cite them correctly to support a needs assessment.
What a finished product looks like
This is a model of the work you should turn in today. Use it to check your own: match the structure and the level of detail, do not copy it. Your data and wording should be your own.
Annotated, cited source set
1. Author A. (2022). Reducing emergency department length of stay through rapid room turnover. Journal of Emergency Care, 14(3), 210 to 219.
Annotation: This study reports that a dedicated turnover technician cut room downtime by about 40 percent across three hospitals. It matters because it gives me measured evidence that turnover staffing, not adding rooms, can solve my bottleneck.
2. Vendor Corp. (2026). TurnoverPro product overview. Vendor Corp. website.
Annotation: This brochure claims their software reduces turnover time to under 10 minutes. It is relevant as prior art, but I flag a bias risk because the company sells the product, so I will verify the number against the journal source.
Bias flag: Source 2 has a financial conflict of interest and its claims need independent confirmation.
Note on consistent style: every citation uses author, year, title, source so any reader can locate the original.
Also due today: Submit the annotated, cited source set to Schoology by end of period.
