First, do an abstract, much like you would see in a journal article at the start of the paper. This lets reader know what to expect. I suggest reviewing some abstracts from journals to see what they include in their abstracts. State your purpose clearly and up front! I suggest the outline follow an article type format. State your papers purpose. The purpose will give you a solid guide as to what you are discussing in the paper and let the reader know as well. The purpose will most likely take you a while to figure out, so do not panic. Again, read journals to see how they state their purpose statement. Next, do an abstract, much like you would see in a journal article at the start of the paper. This lets me know what to expect. You will state your purpose upfront in the abstract and again in the body of the document. Have background/introduction, review of research, methods used, results and finally, conclusions/discussion. The conclusion/discussion should answer the "so-what" part of the research. Why does this topic matter and why is it important to health care? Let me know if you have trouble finding references. I can't stress enough the importance of the conclusions and discussion portion of your paper! Really spend a lot of time here and demonstrate your critical thinking skills. Also, you may wish to do headers to guide the reader and those should be in bold. So what do I mean by Methods section, you review the methods that the articles you reviewed used. Did they use large databases to gather their data or did they do individual surveys? You can just do a quick synopsis and say something along the lines of: "Jones, Moxley and Anderson used retrospective analysis of hospital databases and included x, y and z variables. Smith, Wesson and Crisco used survey data collected via telephone calls and collected a, b and c variables."
