IHP 610 Module One Short Paper Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

Healthcare laws and policies play a major role in the healthcare industry. The various regulatory bodies protect the public from several health risks and provide numerous programs for public

health and welfare. Together, these regulatory agencies protect and regulate public health at every level. It is essential for healthcare professionals to be familiar with and understand these

laws to know when they apply and how they are applied.

Because these laws and policies are made by and for the healthcare system stakeholders, it is essential to understand the perspective of each stakeholder. It is important to understand how

these laws and policies impact stakeholders and how stakeholders in�uence the formation and reformation of these laws and policies. Understanding health laws and policies is essential in
