3-2 Project Preparation: Nonfinancial Impact Analysis

IHP 610 Module Three Project Preparation Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

Imagine that you are a legislative consultant hired to assess the in�uence of stakeholders and interest groups on a health policy issue. Your supervisor has asked that you present your

assessment �ndings to the senior leadership of your organization to inform their decisions on how best to approach their intended organization-wide position statement regarding this issue.

As a �rst 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 foundation

for your Project Two �nal presentation. In this Project Two Preparation assignment, you will essentially analyze the selected health policy issue and describe how it in�uences the decision-

making process in healthcare.

Your research in this Project Preparation will be speci�c to the non�nancial impact of the selected policy on various stakeholders. In your second Project Preparation for Project Two, which is

due in Module Seven, you will explore the �nancial implications of the selected issues. Together, both of these Project Preparation assignments will prepare you for the Project Two submission

due in Module Nine.

Prompt

Create a research report summarizing your assessment �ndings on your chosen health policy issue. This research report will serve as a support document in the Project Two �nal 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 section of this module. For additional help completing this assignment, refer to the Shapiro Library Guide: Nursing –

Graduate item in the Start Here module. You may also use the Online Writing Center, located in the Academic Support module.
