Scenario: Moving from politics to law

You are an intern working with the Senator's team to get the bill (based on the policy created in Scenario 1, Analysis and Policy Development passed. You must follow the legislative process to select committees, identify stakeholders, communicate with health care providers about their role, and identify the key departments that will be responsible if the bill passes. Within this scenario, you will need to apply concepts such as how others influence the process, for example, health care providers who write letters, make phone calls, and make personal visits to the senator's office. You should understand that this is the responsibility of a healthcare professional. In addition, you must be able to explain why the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is the agency of choice to implement the law and develop the regulations, what the regulations are, and why they are important.
