Impact of Laws
M6 Assignment 1 Discussion Assignment 1: Impact of Laws Many laws enacted by federal, state, and local governments can significantly impact healthcare organizations.
The implementation of these laws may periodically differ or change from the original intent of those laws, and the changes can have profound implications on the
strategic, tactical, and operational activities of the organization. Legal compliance is routinely mandated while noncompliance may threaten the continued existence of
the organization and result in a host of invoked civil and criminal remedies levied against the organization and their fiduciary representatives. Research federal,
state, or local laws that may impact the healthcare industry. Write an analysis of the impact of laws on healthcare organizations. • Select and describe five to seven
federal, state, or local laws that potentially impact your selected client organization. • Denote the parameters of the laws. • Explain how each selected law may
impact your selected client organization with respect to compliance and noncompliance. Comment on whether the laws enhance or inhibit the organization’s actions and
support the commentary with relevant information justifying those comments. Organize the information in a matrix. Present the matrix in a PowerPoint format, with
detailed speaker’s notes. Add a summary to the appendices. Apply current APA standards for writing style to your speaker’s notes. All written assignments and responses
should follow APA rules for attributing sources. You will add this assignment to your course PowerPoint presentation. By Tuesday, August 1, 2017, submit your
assignment to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Friday, August 4, 2017, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses. Evaluate the rationale given and
offer alternative ways or means in which each law can impact the organization. Offer differing views on the impact or effect of the laws on the organization or
industry in general. Note: This assignment is a part of the PowerPoint presentation that you will submit in Module 7. Assignment 1 Grading Criteria Maximum Points
