Overview
Imagine that you are a legislative consultant hired to assess the influence of stakeholders and interest groups on the health policy issue you chose for your Project Two submission. Your supervisor has asked that you present your findings to the senior leadership of your organization. This will help inform their decisions on how best to approach their intended organization- wide position statement regarding this issue.
Recall that in your Module Three Project Preparation assignment, you chose one health policy issue and researched its nonfinancial impact on various stakeholders. Now, in this assignment, you will continue your research on the chosen issue. However, your research will now be aligned to the financial implications of the selected issue for various stakeholders. In this assignment, you will analyze the financial needs of stakeholders and how they influence the financial practices in healthcare. Also, you will identify the financial benefits and disadvantages of a chosen issue for the stakeholders. Last, you will describe how financial value conflicts between stakeholders can be addressed with respect to the chosen issue.
Prompt

You must cite at least two sources to support your claims. You may cite no more than one source from the module resources; all other resources must come from your own research. In other words, you may cite no more than one resource from the Resources section of this module.
