Health Policy Analysis

Research healthcare issues that have been identified in your local community. Develop a PowerPoint presentation with speaker notes. You will then use the PowerPoint during your Kaltura recording. Structure a health policy analysis presentation that addresses the following topics particular to your health problem:

1. Problem Statement 

2. Background 

3. Landscape 

4. Options 

5. Recommendations 

Through this assignment, the student will demonstrate the ability to:  

1. Employ strategies to impact the development, implementation, and consequences of holistic healthcare policies using evidence-based practice principles (CO1) 

2. Critically analyze how healthcare systems and APRN practice are organized and influenced by ethical, legal, economic, and political factors (CO2) 

3. Analyze social, historical, ethical and political contexts of healthcare policies and advanced practice leadership (CO4) 

4. Advocate for institutional, local, national and international policies that fosters person-centered healthcare and nursing practice (CO5) 

In week three, you produced a paper on healthcare quality and how your performance can be measured. This is vital information for each of you as you begin clinical practice at first with your preceptor and then as a new graduate. Clinical practice does not exist in a “bubble” but requires the inter-collaboration of many members of the healthcare team. Measuring quality healthcare outcomes is essential.

This week you will be producing a power point on a health policy analysis. From what you learned in week three about national data on healthcare issues, you will now examine one healthcare issue that is predominant in your local community.
