Hi Tiffany,
As Healthcare Administration Leaders (HAL), we must be being prepared for
several roles in various types of organizations. Whether choosing to work in a hospital or
government agency, HAP is expected to find positions as director of public health programs, administrator, or public services specialist. Of all the various roles, HAL can
have a dramatic impact on public policy. Hence, it is essential to explore the dynamic
relation between HAL and public policy. While public policy is involved, it can be often
divided into two segments: macro and individual administration. Healthcare
Administration Leaders will have an impact on both segments as their role in health care
can vary depending on what organization they are representing (Macher & Mayo, 2014).

Hi Ashely,
At the macro level, the federal government tackles health issues that influence the
country's health policies and how the United States policy alters the world. The latest
examples of macro health issues include funding for the research and prevention of
COVID19 virus, support for the Centers for Disease Control, and the government's
response to the shortage of essential medical supplies such as Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE). Challenges at the macro level are primarily about financing and
funding; how much ought to the government allocate to a program, not whether the
program ought to exist at all (McGuire, 2017).

Hi Shirley,
The individual level is where Healthcare Administration Leaders and health care
have a more significant fundamental relationship. Some of the recent debates about
individual issues include the Affordable Care Act and concern for mandatory vaccinations.
Healthcare Administration Leaders are essential for the writing, influencing, lobbying for
the passage of any law that regulates government contribution in health policy. Since
Healthcare Administration Leaders have detailed knowledge of the health care system, they
can give expert advice and assessment to lawmakers that help produce more effective
legislation (Teeroovengadum et al., 2019). Finally, Healthcare Administration Leaders are
also vital in abolishing or replacing laws that no longer work.
