To Prepare: Review the Resources and think about the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously selected for study in the past assignment. Reflect on the competing needs in healthcare delivery as they pertain to the national healthcare issue/stressor you previously examined. Assignment: Post an explanation of how competing needs, such as the needs of the workforce, resources, and patients, may impact the development of policy. Then, describe any specific competing needs that may impact the national healthcare issue/stressor you selected. What are the impacts, and how might policy address these competing needs? Be specific and provide examples. Separately, provide additional thoughts about competing needs that may impact a different selected issue other than the one you seleted, or additional ideas for applying policy to address the impacts described.
