IHP 610 Module Seven Project Preparation Guidelines and Rubric

Overview

Imagine that you are a legislative consultant hired to assess the in�uence of stakeholders and interest groups on the health policy issue you chose for your Project Two submission. Your

supervisor has asked that you present your �ndings to the senior leadership of your organization. This will help inform their decisions on how best to approach their intended organization-

wide position statement regarding this issue.

Recall that in your Module Three Project Preparation assignment, you chose one health policy issue and researched its non�nancial impact on various stakeholders. Now, in this assignment,

you will continue your research on the chosen issue. However, your research will now be aligned to the �nancial implications of the selected issue for various stakeholders. In this assignment,

you will analyze the �nancial needs of stakeholders and how they in�uence the �nancial practices in healthcare. Also, you will identify the �nancial bene�ts and disadvantages of a chosen issue

for the stakeholders. Last, you will describe how �nancial value con�icts between stakeholders can be addressed with respect to the chosen issue.

Prompt
