Identify and discuss the emerging issues and trends surrounding the policy. 

Create an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation with detailed speaker notes on the topic you selected as a team in Week 2. This presentation will require a deeper examination of your chosen topic as it is an emerging issue/trend in today’s health care industry. Your presentation should:

Identify and describe the topic of consideration (I recommend one slide for this topic–you only need to provide a quick overview of the topic–two or three sentences in your notes section is probably plenty here).

Identify and discuss the emerging issues and trends surrounding the policy. (Two slides: what are current issues related to this policy? How are changes in our healthcare system impacting the policy? How are changes in our society–economy, demographics, perspectives, etc.–impacting this policy?)

Describe areas of opportunity involved with this policy. (Two slides: Areas of opportunity are opportunities for improvement. What are some opportunities for this policy to be improved? How can this policy be made better? How can this policy better meet the needs of our current healthcare system and its issues? The content in this section will probably tie closely to the content in the previous bullet point?)

Describe challenges that were faced while implementing the policy. (Two slides: Explain some of the challenges faced at the time this policy was implemented and now. What are the difficulties for the healthcare system in implementing this policy? What challenges might impact patients, providers, and other stakeholders?)

Describe issues that may arise as health care reform continues to evolve. (One or two slides: as healthcare changes, what issues might occur in the future related to this policy? Where do you see the policy in the next 10 years?)

Cite at least 4 reputable references. Reputable references include trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, a textbook, or other sources of similar quality.

Format your references according to APA guidelines. Include a title and references slide.

Submit your assignment.
