The Comprehensive Final Project
has been designed for the student to identify federal and
state policy roots in a specific health services organization. Each student will select a specific
management area for a specific organization.
The student will identify a health services setting where they have
access to the policy manual (or a sample policy manual). The setting may include a single location or
an organization with many types of services and many service delivery settings.
Select one of the following spheres where you will map out and describe a
minimum of five (5) organizational policies linked to federal or state
legislative mandates. Note some policies may be required for accreditation and
also related to public policy. This is
the case with many NCQA standards.
Prepare a final PowerPoint presentation with no more than
10-15 content slides. A cover and reference slide must be provided. Draw on what you have learned throughout the
class including: a summary of each organizational policy and the federal/state
legislative roots for each policy (by name and statute), any pending changes to
the legislation, and your metrics for the organization in terms of performance.
