Select and investigate a stakeholder
organization from the list below. Post
your selection in the Assignment #1 Discussion section so that your fellow
students are aware of your choice. Only one student per Stakeholder
Organization!
In this assignment students will gain expertise
in identifying and analyzing the role of stakeholders in the U.S. Health Care
Sector, examining the health care sector from the perspective of stakeholders,
and examining the leadership and management of a stakeholder organization.
This assignment calls for a 3-5 page report
(not including title page or reference page).
The student should address the following:
Name

describe the key health care issue the stakeholder is influencing, who is being
represented by the stakeholder, the desired impact of the stakeholder on the
issue and what the stakeholder’s members or constituents stand to gain if the
desired outcome is achieved.
Identify and explain the stakeholder
organization perspective: Payer (insurers, government payers, and employers);
Provider (entities and individuals providing services in the health care
system); Patient (consumers); or Producer (a product developer) could also be
examined in this assignment.

partners with OR an organization that opposes the stakeholder and describe
their perspective on the same issue.
Identify the most senior leader of the
organization. Describe his or her educational and positional background.
Identify the duties and responsibilities of this leadership position and why

whole. Describe the knowledge and skills this position requires, list some of
the other the stakeholders this individual would work with and describe the

health care system.
As is the case with all academic papers, a
well-organized paper will have a clear introduction to the topic, a body, and a
conclusion or summary paragraph. In addition, a well-written paper will have
minimal grammar, spelling, or sentence structure mistakes and it will fully
conform to all APA formatting standards.
