HCS 455 Assignment Week 3 The Policy Process Recent
The policy cycle approach provides lawmakers with a pathway for developing a policy and guiding it through the institutions of the U.S. government. The cycle starts with identification of a targeted problem and ultimately ends with a specific course of action. Along the way, the outcomes of a policy are subjected to various levels of review, evaluation, and revisions that result in a continual loop. In essence, the policy cycle is a series of interlocking steps that facilitates a dialogue between the main stakeholders. As a health care administrator, it’s important to have a working knowledge of the process and how the process ultimately leads to implementation of health care laws that eventually will impact what you do.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper that explains the policy process. Your paper should include the following:
Explain the various stages and the key components associated with each stage in the policy process.
Discuss formulation, legislation, implementation, evaluation, analysis, and revision.
Identify who the main stakeholders are for each stage in the policy process.
Cite at least 3 reputable references. Reputable references include trade or industry publications; government or agency websites; scholarly works; your textbook, Health Policymaking in the United States (6th ed.); or other sources of similar quality.
