The ability to successfully navigate this ever-changing landscape ultimately determines the successes or failures of your health care organization. Every aspect of your operations, both direct care and administrative actions, can be linked directly to legislation, regulation, or broader health policy trends. Some actions are governed at the state or local level and others at the federal. To be an advocate at all levels for your clients and industry, to educate elected and public officials, and to monitor the landscape takes time, expertise, and relationships.
