What is Process Essays (Examples)?

A process essay is fundamentally different from other types of academic writing assignments.  In fact, it is closer to technical writing than to other types of academic writing. That is because a process essay describes a process that leads to a specific outcome.  There are two approaches to the process essay.  The first approach is often referred to as a directional process essay and is the simpler of the two approaches; it describes the steps necessary to complete a task.  The second approach to the process essay does more than outline steps, it also analyzes or explains the steps involved in the process.  The wording of your assignment will be important when you are trying to determine which approach to take while writing your process essay.  

The introduction of your process essay needs to accomplish several things.  First, it needs to introduce the process you are going to describe, and give background information about that process, when such information is necessary.  Next, it needs to identify your audience.  Identifying your audience does not require actually saying the targeted audience for your essay, but, if your reader needs a certain educational, technical, or professional background to understand the essay, then the introduction provides a great opportunity for you to provide that material.

The body of the essay involves your actual descriptions of the process.  For simple directional process essays, the body of the essay involves a step-by-step description of each part of the process.  For analytical process essays, in addition to outlining the steps you might explain them to the reader or analyze whether the steps are necessary to the process and make the process more efficient, or should be eliminated or changed in order to maximize efficiency and performance.

Finally, the conclusion of your essay will reiterate what you hope to achieve with the process described in the essay.  If you have analyzed the process and found it lacking, the conclusion may also describe suggestions for further study or review.

Montefiore Medical Center Strategy & Balanced Scorecard
This study examines the case of Montefoire, both in terms of the company's original strategic framework versus its new strategic framework within view of the Balanced Scorecard. The new strategy of Montefoire is one that is focused on activity-based management rather than resource-based management and as a non-profit organization, Montefoire has a focus on creating shared value for the organization and those whom the organization serves, or that of the patient population. The focus of Montefoire should be on, rather than building the number of cases that the institution takes annually, on the number of satisfied patients that receive service provision from Montefoire on an annual basis. This focus will ensure that Montefoire is a care center of choice and that not only do patients return for health care service provision but that they additionally relate to others the excellent care they were provided ensuring that others choose Montefoire as well for their needs in health care services. The Balanced Scorecard provides the necessary strategic framework to ensure that patient care provision is effectively and efficiently accomplished. While this may require some time for the organization in terms of employee buy-in, this method has been demonstrated as effective in other health care organizations and institutions as noted in the literature reviewed in this study.
