HCS 455 Assignment Week 2 Key Players in Health Care Policy Within
the U.S. health care system there are a number of key players that
influence the health care policy development process and ultimately help
shape our health care policies. Government (primarily federal and state
governments) and interest groups like the American Medical
Association, AARP, and the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation can
have a direct impact on the outcome of the type of health care we
receive. Patients (the largest consumers in the health care industry) are
key players in the health care system, and the needs and wants of the
public also drive the decisions made by health care decision-makers.
This assignment will help you better understand the role and influences
of the key players in the health care policy development process.
Research the key players in the health care policy development process.
Select one of the key players at the government level (federal or state), a
professional organization, or an interest group. Write a 525- to 700-word
paper that details the importance and impact this key player has on the
policy development process. Your paper should include the following:
Identify the key player and their level in the policy development process.
Describe their role in the policy development process. Describe why the
key player identified is important in the policy development process.
Describe the impact the selected key player has on the policy
development process. Cite at least 2 reputable references. Reputable
references include trade or industry publications; government or agency
websites; scholarly works; your textbook, Health Policymaking in the
United States (6th ed.); or other sources of similar quality. Format your

HCS 455 Assignment Week 3 The Policy Process (New Syllabus, Jan
2019) HCS 455 Week 3 The Policy Process The policy cycle approach
provides lawmakers with a pathway for developing a policy and guiding
it through the institutions of the U.S. government. The cycle starts with
identification of a targeted problem and ultimately ends with a specific
course of action. Along the way, the outcomes of a policy are subjected
to various levels of review, evaluation, and revisions that result in a
continual loop. In essence, the policy cycle is a series of interlocking
steps that facilitates a dialogue between the main stakeholders. As a
health care administrator, it’s important to have a working knowledge of
the process and how the process ultimately leads to implementation of
health care laws that eventually will impact what you do. Write a 700- to
1,050-word paper that explains the policy process. Your paper should
include the following: Explain the various stages and the key
components associated with each stage in the policy process. Discuss
formulation, legislation, implementation, evaluation, analysis, and
revision. Identify who the main stakeholders are for each stage in the
policy process. Cite at least 3 reputable references. Reputable references
include trade or industry publications; government or agency websites;
scholarly works; your textbook, Health Policymaking in the United
States (6th ed.); or other sources of similar quality. Format your

HCS 455 Week 2 Policy Choice Worksheet Policies are constantly
reviewed and considered to help improve the federal, state, or local
health care systems. Each one has the potential to affect each of us on a
daily basis, so careful consideration must be given when policies are
proposed. It is important to understand the process of how a topic
eventually becomes a policy. Choose a health care topic for which a
policy might be created, OR choose a specific policy that has already
been passed into law. Be sure to look ahead and choose a policy topic
that will be suitable for both parts of this assignment, due in Weeks
Three, Four, and Five. Your topic should be rather narrow. For example,
“women’s health” would be too broad, but a policy to encourage women
to get mammograms would be narrow enough to apply the policy
creation concepts discussed later in the class. Submit the worksheet.
This worksheet is designed to help you think through your topic choice.
Use APA format to cite throughout the worksheet and to list references.
You do not need to add any type of title page or separate reference page.
Just ensure that citations are used correctly throughout the worksheet
and list your references in the reference section of the worksheet. Click

present a policy brief to your state legislators on the policy of your
choice. Your job is to convince this group of legislators to pass or revise
a specific policy. Using your research and tools from the first four weeks
of class, you will compile a presentation summary of your policy brief.
This presentation should contain 12-15 slides of content (not including
title and reference slides). You slides should contain a brief outline of
your content, and the bulk of your content should be in the notes section
of your slides. Slide notes content must be submitted to plagiarism
checker. Make sure your presentation contains the following: Executive
Summary: This is your introduction. Provide a summary of the policy
issue and your recommendations that will follow. Problem overview:
Using specific data, explain why there is an issue that needs legislative
attention. Consider the policy agenda process described in our course
text, Longest, 2016. What causes an issue to become part of the
legislative agenda? Make sure your problem overview includes enough
detail to convince policymakers that the problem requires their action
and attention. Potential policy solutions: Discuss possible solutions to
the issue. You should include at least three different possible policy
approaches. You can list past solutions that have already been
implemented (and which you don’t believe are working). Here, you are
going to discuss a few different ways to solve the policy issue. From this
list, you will then choose one which you believe to be the best solution,
but before you provide your specific solution, you will list other
alternatives. Recommended solution: From your list of possible policy
actions, choose a specific and actionable solution that you will
recommend to policymakers. When you think you have a possible
solution, ask yourself, “Is this something specific a policymaker or
implementing organization can do?” If not, then you have not provided
an appropriate solution. References/Resources: List all references and
include any additional resources you think might be helpful for
policymakers who would like to research the topic in more depth. Keep
your content concise, specific, and make sure you are using academic
sources to support any of your recommendations. Anecdotes and
personal opinion should be minimal. Use at least five sources. Follow
APA format in your presentation, making sure to cite any images used in
slides, and to provide citations in slides and notes.

The cycle starts with identification of a targeted problem and ultimately ends with a specific course of action. Along the way, the outcomes of a policy are subjected to various levels of review, evaluation, and revisions that result in a continual loop. In essence, the policy cycle is a series of interlocking steps that facilitates a dialogue between the main stakeholders. As a health care administrator, it’s important to have a working knowledge of the process and how the process ultimately leads to implementation of health care laws that eventually will impact what you do.

Prior to completing this worksheet, please review the week 5 team assignment instructions and requirements. With this in mind, select a topic and
  • 12. complete the worksheet. Your worksheet should include a minimum of five sources, all of which should be listed at the end of the worksheet. Use APA format throughout the worksheet. Include citations throughout your worksheet whenever you use information from one of your sources. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HCS 455 Week 2 Policy Choice Worksheet (New Syllabus) FOR MORE CLASSES VISIT www.hcs455tutors.com HCS 455 Week 2 Policy Choice Worksheet Policies are constantly reviewed and considered to help improve the federal, state, or local health care systems. Each one has the potential to affect each of us on a daily basis, so careful consideration must be given when policies are proposed. It is important to understand the process of how a topic eventually becomes a policy. Choose a health care topic for which a policy might be created, OR choose a specific policy that has already been passed into law. Be sure to look ahead and choose a policy topic that will be suitable for both parts of this assignment, due in Weeks Three, Four, and Five. Your topic should be rather narrow. For example, “women’s health” would be too broad, but a policy to encourage women to get mammograms would be narrow enough to apply the policy creation concepts discussed later in the class. Submit the worksheet. This worksheet is designed to help you think through your topic choice. Use APA format to cite throughout the worksheet and to list references. You do not need to add any type of title page or separate reference page. Just ensure that citations are used correctly throughout the worksheet and list your references in the reference section of the worksheet. Click the Assignment Files tab to submit your assignment.

Potential policy solutions: Discuss possible solutions to the issue. You should include at least three different possible policy approaches. You can list past solutions that have already been implemented (and which you don’t believe are working). Here, you are going to discuss a few different ways to solve the policy issue. From this list, you will then choose one which you believe to be the best solution, but before you provide your specific solution, you will list other alternatives. Recommended solution: From your list of possible policy actions, choose a specific and actionable solution that you will recommend to policymakers. When you think you have a possible solution, ask yourself, “Is this something specific a policymaker or
