Implementing Health Policy within health care organizations.

 

As a healthcare administrator, one of the challenges can be ensuring that federal, state, and local policies are effectively implemented within one’s healthcare organization, and they become part of internal policy. The background readings have highlighted three such policies. • The requirement of certain healthcare facilities that participate in Medicare and Medicaid to strengthen their emergency preparedness • The requirement to reduce hospital readmissions • The requirement that hospitals comply with regulations surrounding the release of patients’ health care records CASE ASSIGNMENT You are an assistant administrator in a nonprofit hospital that receives Medicare and Medicaid funding. Your boss has asked you to make a presentation to other leadership ab​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​out one of the above policies. She would like for you to provide an overview of the policy, the implications for your organization for non-compliance, as well as recommendations about what you should be doing to ensure compliance. After reviewing the background readings and doing additional necessary research, choose one of the regulations above. You must locate and review the legislation in question as part of your research, and include the correct citation to the federal legislation in your reference list. This must be for the actual legislation and not for a secondary source. Create a 10- to 15-slide PowerPoint presentation that covers all of the expectations of your boss. Be sure to provide speaker’s notes that extrapolate on the information within your slides and cite your sources in your slides and speaker’s notes. You should also include a r​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​eference slide.

Implementing Health Policy within health care organizations.

 

After reviewing the background materials and doing additional research, draft a paper that addresses the challenges that administrators may encounter when trying to integrate state or federal policy into their health care organization’s internal policies. Be sure to provide solutions to managing these challenges.

1. Conduct additional research to gather sufficient information to justify/support your analysis.
2. Limit your response to a maximum of 3 pages (title and reference page is not included in page number count).
3. Support your paper with peer-reviewed articles, with at least 3 references. Use the following link for additional information on how to recognize peer-reviewed journals:
