Navigate Scenario for Health Policyselected product title

This collection of four interactive video case studies provides students with a realistic, immersive learning experience that reinforces lessons gathered from a collection of best-selling Jones & Bartlett Learning Health Care and Health Policy textbooks.  

Through immersive technology and instructional design, the Navigate Scenario for Health Policy creates an environment in which the student assumes various roles within the health care legislation process to develop and implement health care policy.

In each episode, the student will progress through a series of different settings and character interactions that will teach them about key concepts in Health Policy. The student will analyze information, make decisions, and see the impact of their participation in real time.

Each episode is accompanied by a secure, instructor-only package which includes four, 10 question multiple choice quizzes (one for each episode) as well as four prompts for a written assignment such as a recommendation or proposal.  All assessments or assignments are assigned at the instructors' discretion.

Episode 1: Policy Analysis and Development

In this episode, the student is in a health care policy internship program in a Senator's office in Washington, D.C.  The Senator wants to develop policy that requires all health care organizations that receive federal funds to implement the recommendations presented in the Institute of Medicine reports on quality care. The student must collect data, describe the problem, solutions and related ethical issues, examine the cost-benefit analysis, identify stakeholders (such as lobbyists from American Hospital Association, health care providers, health care corporations, pharmaceuticals, insurers, etc.), and impact.  Based on this information, the student will create a policy description that will be the foundation for a bill.

Episode 2: Going from Policy to Law

The student is an intern working with the Senator's team to get the bill (based on the policy created in Episode 1 passed. The student must follow the legislative process to select committees, identify stakeholders, communicate with health care providers about their role, and identify key departments who will be responsible if the bill is passed.

Episode 3: Implementing Policy in the Health Care Delivery System

In this episode, the student is the Director of Quality Improvement for a Health Care System. The student's team is in the process of establishing policies and procedures to ensure health law compliance. The student must work with team members to create policies and procedures that address the requirements, determine who the changes impact the most, and work with those people to develop a comprehensive communication strategy.

Episode 4: Evaluating a Health Care Policy

In this episode, the student is responsible for examining the DHHS' evaluation of the policy and how it may impact the Health Care System. The student will then work with a team to determine the best way to monitor the implementation of policy within the Health Care System and report it to the DHHS.
