Learning Outcome Addressed:

1. Analyze a healthcare initiative and assess how it creates value.

One of the unique challenges faced by healthcare organizations is that many aspects of their work are affected by policies that they were not involved in making. As a healthcare leader, you will be tasked with responding to new and existing policies, some of which may feel like obstacles. You may also find that some policies present opportunities to drive positive change. Policy initiatives can also help to direct how work is done, determine steps in a process, and set expectations, which can lead to value creation.

In this capstone assignment, you will analyze a policy-related initiative, project, or practice and assess its relationship to value creation. In Module 21, you studied some specific examples of policy-related issues, such as healthcare coverage for all, the volume-to-value shift, and incentivizing or disincentivizing health-related choices, any of which could inspire and support value-creating projects or practices. You may refer to any of these or another policy-related initiative undertaken by your organization or by Kaiser Permanente.

You are welcome to use material from previous playbook assignments to complete this capstone assignment. For example, your responses to Discussion 21.1 and Required Playbook Assignment 21.1 provide material that you can use in completing this assignment.
