Health care organizations that receive federal funds to implement the recommendations presented in the Institute of Medicine reports on quality care.

You are an intern working with the Senator’s team to get the bill based on a policy that requires all health care organizations that receive federal funds to implement the recommendations presented in the Institute of Medicine reports on quality care.

You must follow the legislative process to select committees, identify stakeholders, communicate with health care providers about their role, and identify key departments who will be responsible if the bill is passed. 

Apply concepts such as how others influence the process, for example, health care providers who write letters, telephone, and make personal visits to the senator’s office.  You should understand that this is the responsibility of a health care professional. 

Also, you must be able to articulate why the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is the agency chosen to implement the law and develop the regulations, what the regulations are, and why they are important.
