Details of Assessment
This assessment provides you with the opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of how health care policies are constructed. You are required to analyse the process of health care policy development with reference to ONE policy or one component of a policy (for example a policy framework or models of care document *see note) within the health care system. The policy could be one that has been developed for the Health Care System in general. There is a table of suggested policies on page 47 of the Learning Modules document that may be relevant to you. Please also refer to the frameworks for analysis listed on page 26 of the Learning Modules document and explained in reading 2.1. An example of a good policy analysis will be available to you in vUWS to help guide you on the required format for this assignment.
The required readings and learning activities in the Learning Modules for Module 1 and Module 2 provide detailed information about the policy development process and make suggestion for how best to approach and conduct a policy analysis and critique.
* policy framework or model of care documents must be from a credible source for example The World Health Organisation and Australian National Council on Drugs
