Examining Health Care Legislation
Professional Context
Health care professionals and leaders must be attuned to current
health care legislation and advocacy issues that affect
reimbursement, access, costs, quality, and innovation. Federal
legislation sets the tone for health care regulation and payment.
State legislation regulates health care professionals and heal th
care facilities through licensures, certifications, audits, and
surveys. Health care leaders must have a substantive
understanding of current legislation and awareness of advocacy
needs to represent their organizations, employees, and
communities effectively.
This assignment provides an opportunity for you to begin an
investigation of current health care legislation that affects a
population or segment of the health care industry.
By successfully completing this assignment, you will
demonstrate your proficiency in the following course
competencies and assignment criteria:
· Competency 2: Evaluate significant federal and state

9. legislation that affects the scope of, access to, availability of,
and reimbursement for health care services.
. Describe the purpose and scope of specific health care
legislation and its impact on health care services for a
population or segment of the health care industry.
. Develop a research question to guide an investigation into the
effects of specific legislation on health care services.
· Competency 3: Analyze the effects of values and assumptions
inherent in the changing priorities in health planning and
resource allocation.
. Identify the historical underpinnings, underlying assumptions,
and values affecting specific health care legislation.
· Competency 4: Evaluate the combined effects of social,
economic, ethical, legal, and political forces on health care.
. Explain how social, economic, ethical, legal, and political
forces affect health care legislation.
· Competency 6: Communicate effectively, in an appropriate
form and style, consistent with applicable organizational,
professional, and scholarly standards.
. Write clearly and concisely in a logically coherent and
appropriate form and style.
Scenario
In all four assignments in this course, you will assume the role
of a health policy analyst working for a health care think tank.
The board of directors has asked you to undertake a scholarly
investigation of specific health care legislation to determine
whether that legislation is achieving its aims. As a health care
policy expert, the choice of legislation has been left up to you.
You have decided that your approach to this investigation will
be to:
· Examine the historical context of the legislation.
· Review the available literature surrounding the legislation.
· Analyze the available literature addressing the outcomes of the
legislation.
· Recommend changes to improve health policy in the area the
legislation addresses.

10. You will complete your investigation over the course of your
Unit 3, 5, 7, and 9 assignments:
· For this assignment, you will choose the legislation you will
investigate, develop a research question, and write the
introduction to your research paper.
· You will collect data to answer your research question from
the peer-reviewed literature that you compile in Unit 5.
· Your analysis of the literature in Unit 7 will form the basis of
your study.
· In Unit 9, you will consolidate the feedback from your
instructor and peers on your previous work received and add
your conclusions and recommendations for policy changes.
Instructions
Complete this assignment in three parts.
Part 1
To begin your investigation, choose federal or state health care
legislation that affects a population or segment of the health
care industry. There are numerous health care laws to consider,
with various implications for delivery, access, cost, and
outcomes. You are encouraged to explore current health care
legislation affecting the industry segment that interests you
most. This week’s discussion will help you consider potential
choices and formulate your research question.
· Choose legislation that has had a meaningful impact on at
least one population or segment of the health care industry.
· Be sure that this legislation has been in effect for at least one
year. Do not choose proposed legislation or bills that have not
been signed into law.
· Consider the effects of social, economic, ethical, legal, and
political forces on your chosen health care legislation, as well
as the historical underpinnings, underlying assumptions, and
values that may have influenced it.
Part 2
Develop a research question as the basis for your investigation
into the effects of health care legislation on the scope of, access
to, availability of, and reimbursement for health care services.

11. You will answer this question as you work through each
assignment in the course.
Formulate your research question as What effect did X have on
Y?, where X is the specific legislation and Y is the affected
population or segment of the health care industry.
Here are a few examples to get you thinking about a suitable
research question:
· For emergency departments focused on reducing hospital
readmissions: What effect did value-based bundling and
reimbursement changes have on reducing hospital readmissions?
· For a skilled nursing facility working on quality initiatives:
What effect did the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act
(OBRA) of 1987 have on skilled nursing facilities?
· For mental health organizations: What effect did the Mental
Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) of 2008
have on access for people with mental health problems?
· For health plans: What effect did the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (PPACA) of 2010, have on Medicare
beneficiaries and coverage options?
Part 3
Write the introduction to your research paper. The introduction
will be developed around your research question.

Evaluation
The following requirements correspond to the assignment
scoring guide, so be sure to address each point. Read the
performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how
your work will be assessed.
· Explain how social, economic, ethical, legal, and political
forces affect health care legislation.
. What evidence supports your conclusions?
· Identify the historical underpinnings, underlying assumptions,
and values affecting the health care legislation you have chosen
to investigate.
. What cause-and-effect relationships among these factors and
your chosen legislation can you discern?
. Which areas of uncertainty preclude you from drawing precise,
defensible conclusions about how these factors have influenced
the legislation?
. What evidence supports your assertions and conclusions?
· Describe the purpose and scope of the health care legislation
you have chosen to investigate and its impact on health care
services for a population or segment of the health care industry.
. What evidence supports your assertions and conclusions?
· Develop a research question to guide your investigation into
the effects of your chosen legislation on health care services.

13. . Consider the salient characteristics of a good research
question, such as scope, specificity, interest, and feasibility.
