Health policy development and enactment is continuously in a state of flux; current health policies should be evaluated based on outcomes that meet or exceed benchmarks regarding positive health care outcomes for patients. In the United States, local, state, and federal governments often enact public health policies. Policy development is a complicated process with multiple actors, data analytics, political values, and current best practices that support evidence-based outcomes. Furthermore, health equity centers on patients' ability to obtain quality healthcare services. It is important for the actors involved in health policy formation to focus on policy implementation; yet equally important is to realize that enactment of the health policy is not the end of the process.
This week, you are the CEO for Shady Valley Long-Term Care Center. The skilled nursing facility is a 100-bed comprehensive facility that offers long-term care, skilled care, in-house physical therapy, palliative care, and hospice services. The long-term care facility is committed to offering state of the art healthcare services with a focus on diversity, equity, and quality of care for its patients and families. You and your team will be working with multiple long-term care individuals to include both administrative and clinical managers. You are tasked with developing and presenting a PowerPoint presentation to the board of trustees. The topic of this slide presentation will focus on one health policy change of your choice within the long-term care industry. Examples center on legal issues, patient confidentiality, hospice-right to die, cost and billing, DEI, and quality care issues.
Be sure to address the following requirements in your PowerPoint presentation:
– Describe the team members initiating the health policy analysis process, the specific chosen health policy issue, and what needs to be changed in relation to positive health care outcomes for patients.

Examples include the need for additional liability insurance, licenses, overtime compensation, and training required to implement the suggested health policy change.
– Define the stakeholders involved in or affected by the newly proposed health policy change. Who will be informed, who will participate, who will be a champion of the policy, who can be an enabler, and who might be a blocker and needs to be co-opted?
