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.

Human Health and the Mind-Body Connection Explained

In some respects, the human mind and body are separate entities, particularly in connection with the types of ailments to which each is vulnerable and the diagnoses and treatment of those ailments. Generally, medical issues affecting the body manifest themselves in symptoms that are observable or otherwise detectable through the five senses. By contrast, ailments affecting the human mind often have no externally identifiable symptoms; they must be diagnosed through some form of psychological therapy that emphasizes communication between the patient and the healthcare professional. However, contemporary medicine now understands that there is also a definite connection between the mind and the physical body through which each affects and is affected by the other in many ways. Mental pathologies and other types of conditions and experiences that primarily affect the mind, such as emotional (and many other types of) stress, can also result in or make existing physical symptoms much worse. Other types of ailments originating in the mind can be the principal cause of physical symptoms of the body. The opposite is equally true: physical conditions, such as chronic pain (among others) can also affect the state and health of the mind, resulting in anxiety, depression, and other psychological conditions.

Improving Patient and Employee Satisfaction at Piney Woods Hospital

Quality of healthcare is supported by a constellation of variables, and certainly investments in infrastructure and technology can have a large impact on healthcare quality (Peltier, et al., 2009). But there is a body of research that indicates the "most dramatic improvements" can be achieved by the people who work in the field of healthcare (Peltier, et al., 2009). Research has found that dissatisfied healthcare employees can have a profoundly negative effect on the quality of care that patients receive (Peltier, et al., 2009). Naturally, this impacts levels of patient satisfaction and ultimately community loyalty to the hospital (Atkins, et al, 1996; Fahad Al-Mailam, 2005). Alternately, the research indicates that increasing employee engagement leads to improved employee satisfaction, and consequently, improved patient care and associated higher ratings of patient satisfaction (Peltier, et al., 2009).
