IHP 620 Reflection Journal Guidelines and Rubric

The journal activity in this course is private between students and the instructor. The journal assignment will serve as a personal re�ection on your knowledge and experience relating to the

content covered in the course.

Prompt

Think about how the healthcare industry is impacted by economic factors as heavily as any other industry. Now that your project is complete, re�ect on the relationships between economics,

legislative changes, and policies and how these relationships are important to the overall delivery of healthcare systems. What steps can you take to become active in shaping economic

legislation or policies that impact the healthcare industry? Consider how economics will inform the decision making in your current or future position.

In the second part of this journal assignment, compare what you thought you knew about the economics of healthcare with what you learned in the course and identify the signi�cance (what it

means to you professionally and/or personally). You might also identify what more you want to learn in relation to the economics of healthcare.

What to Submit

Submit assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. When writing this journal, use APA formatting for all references and in-

text citations. Your journal assignment should be 3–4 paragraphs in length.
