Project: Literature Review and Problem Statement

Health Care Administration Leadership Theory. In order to achieve success in this program and as a future
leader in health care administration, developing your skills for effectively assessing current literature and
evaluating problems is critical. One of the goals of the Scholar-Practitioner Project is to help you develop such
skills.

areas of need for leadership in the field. Prepare a literature review of scholarly articles related to your topic.
This review should contain a minimum of 10 peer-reviewed or scholarly resources. Additionally, based on your
conducted review of the current literature, create a problem statement that addresses identified gaps while
incorporating implications for positive social change. Located within the resources for the week, you may find
