What is Definition?

 

Ironically, the definition of the term “definition essay” is not very specific.  Definition essays are short pieces of writing on a particular topic.  However, not every essay on a topic can be properly labeled a definition essay.  Instead, a definition essay is an attempt to describe the topic thoroughly enough for the reader to understand it very well and might be compared to an encyclopedia entry for the topic.  Any of our example essays could provide a good start on a definition essay about the topic.  However, we have collected a sample of our best definition essays and included them below to help you explore the genre.

Medical records management: outsourcing versus in-house operations
Bates, DW et al (2002) A Proposal for Electronic Medical Records in U.S. Primary Care J Am Med Inform Assoc ;10:1-10 This paper, developed by the National Alliance for Primary Care Informatics, a collaborative group sponsored by a number of primary care societies, argues that providers' and patients' information and decision support needs can be satisfied only if primary care providers use electronic medical records (EMRs). Although robust EMRs are now available, only about 5% of U.S. primary care providers use them. Recently, with only modest investments, Australia, New Zealand, and England have achieved major breakthroughs in implementing EMRs in primary care. Substantial benefits realizable through routine use of electronic medical records include improved quality, safety, and efficiency, along with increased ability to conduct education and research. Nevertheless, barriers to adoption exist and must be overcome. This paper is a valuabel summing up of the importanc eof EMR to medical instutions, the challenges, and how institutions can meet these challegnes.

The mind of Christ: kenosis and transformation in Philippians 2:5
This essay performs an exegesis of Philippians 2:5, and focuses on the way in which the language of the verse reflects its larger theological argument. The verse contains an ambiguous verb, and only by examining it in context can one understand how it functions as a means of describing the spiritual experience of both Jesus and his followers. In the end, it may be considered a kind of fractal representation of the eternal nature of Jesus, contained in the finite experience of a human being.
