Effective public health policies are essential responsibilities designed by global, national, state, and local community to ensure safety and finances are being handle appropriately. The government role at the federal, state, and local level is to protect, preserve, and promote, health, and safety to all American's. The federal government finances direct care of client through the Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and SCHIP programs and states governments contributes to the cost. The CDC is responsible for promoting health, preventing, and controlling infectious diseases. In the past few years, we have been working closely with the CDC in preventing the spread of the COVID pandemic. The CDC have provided guidelines to followed and each state have made laws and regulations that must be follow by each state to prevent the rapid spreading of the virus and minimize hospitalizations. Policy development is one of the core roles of public health (Pollack, Rutkow, 2018). During the pandemic we witness how policies were quickly put in effect and how people were taking these new states law and regulations. Mandated isolations, flight cancelation, and screening methods were some of the measures taken by the government to prevent the spread of the COVID virus (Tabari, Amini, Moghadami, Moosavi, 2020). Many of this regulation, policies, or states law were mandated to create as safety precautions and to manage the spread. One example of implementing mandatory mask in our Rheumatology practices patient were okay with them at first since everyone was scare of getting COVID but recently is have been extrimenly hard to help them understand that the state regulation to now apply to healthcare facilities. We still required patient to wear their mask. Sometimes explaining explaining certain law, policies, or regulations to patient or family member can be extrimenly challengiing but we need to find way to educate them in the subject and help them understand the reasons and most of the time this reasons are safety.
