Course Final Project – Healthcare Policy Analysis

Course Final Project – Healthcare Policy Analysis

Introduction and Alignment

To draw the project to a conclusion, in this workshop you will develop a complete and final draft of your Health Policy Analysis. The paper will incorporate information from the previous assignments to present a professional quality analysis suitable for use by a legislator.

The presentation is to include the following sections:

1. Introduction
2. Problem Statement
3. Background
4. Landscape
5. Policy Options
6. Policy Recommendation

The paper is not a copy and paste of the previous assignments. Rather, it is a concise presentation of the Health Policy Analysis. Some important things to consider. First, consider your audience. This analysis is for a member of the legislature. These are very busy individuals who are required to process large amounts of information. Direct, concise, and relevant messages work best. Therefore, this Health Policy Analysis paper can be no longer than 5 pages. Second, make sure to clearly address each section of the analysis. By the end of the paper, the reader should have enough information to make a decision. Third, sell your policy recommendation. You want the decision-maker to believe yours is the best solution to the policy issue.

Upon completion of this assignment, you should be able to:

• Analyze a health policy issue.
• Conduct a health policy analysis.
• Identify biblical principles applicable to a health policy.
• Create a formal health policy analysis paper.
