Health policy project 2

Overview

Imagine that you are a legisla!ve consultant hired to assess the influence of stakeholders and interest groups on a health

policy issue. Your supervisor has asked that you present your assessment findings to the senior leadership of your

organiza!on to inform their decisions on how best to approach their intended organiza!on-wide posi!on statement regarding

this issue.

As a first step, you will select one of three health policy issues from the Project Two Health Policy Issue Scenarios document.

As part of the background study, you will conduct preliminary research about the selected issue and analyze the impact of the

selected issue on various stakeholders. This background study and assessment of the selected issue will serve as a founda!on

for your Project Two final presenta!on. In this Project Two Prepara!on assignment, you will essen!ally analyze the selected

health policy issue and describe how it influences the decision-making process in healthcare.

Your research in this Project Two Prepara!on will be specific to the nonfinancial impact of the selected policy on various

stakeholders. In your second Project Two Prepara!on, which is due in Module Seven, you will explore the financial

implica!ons of the selected issues. Together, both of these Project Two Prepara!on assignments will prepare you for the

Project Two submission due in Module Nine.

Prompt

Create a research report summarizing your assessment findings on your chosen health policy issue. This research report will

serve as a support document in the Project Two final submission.

You must cite at least three sources to support your claims. You may cite no more than one source from the module

resources; all other resources must come from your own research. In other words, you may cite no more than one resource

from the Resources sec!on of this module. For addi!onal help comple!ng this assignment, refer to the Shapiro Library Guide:
