Key Points of the Health Care Policy: ACA

Succinct but accurate dissemination of information is often a key responsibility of a health care administrator, and understanding current changes in health care policy is an important need for many stakeholders within an organization.

For this Assignment, assume the role of a health care administrator and create an outline presentation to provide stakeholders within the organization foundational information about the ACA. In particular, focus on the formulation of the ACA and the diverse perspectives of those who had a role in its development.

As noted previously, this presentation is designed to inform the subsequent policy assessment you will distribute.

In presentation: Briefly describe the issues addressed by the ACA as well as the background of the policy’s formulation.

Identify key stakeholders involved in the evolution of the ACA. Briefly explain the overarching perspectives of these stakeholders with regard to the ACA. Define which of the stakeholders would be considered advocacy groups and which would be classified as business interests. Explain how you differentiate the two categories and why this differentiation matters.

Explain the impact of the ACA on key stakeholders (not necessarily within the organization). For example, how does the policy impact consumers? A health care organization? An insurance company? Providers? Explain the role of various government agencies and officials, including public health agencies, in the formulation and implementation of the policy. Explain the ongoing role of law and regulation in the formulation and implementation of the ACA.
