As new illnesses, conditions, diseases, technology or approaches to treatment are discovered and/or used in healthcare we often create new policies to accompany them.Policies are typically enacted to prevent situations from becoming worse and oftentimes to improve outcomes.Some policies are implemented on a national level while others only apply to specific states.

Conduct research within the state that you live in and find a healthcare policy that has been implemented within the last 20 years.Write a 4-5 page paper on that a healthcare policy (ex. Nursing home reform, ambulance transportation, etc.).Think about how this policy impacts your role and the roe of your organization.Be sure to include the following:

• Discuss the purpose of the healthcare policy or reform and the gap it was created to fill.Provide the name of the policy or reform and any qualifying measures.
• As you think about your state, explain how the policy is beneficial to the people it serves.Share whether it meets the expectation it intended to.
• Include any data that is relevant to showing improved outcomes as a result of the policy and whether it is effective.
• Explain different viewpoints or opposing viewpoints to the policy/reform.Explain why it was opposed.
• Use audience-specific language
