16th Washington Health Policy Institute
The Nation�s Health: Action Through Public Policy
June 3 - 6, 2008
T</>he 16th annual Washington Health Policy Institute in conjunction with the Center for Health Policy Research and Ethics at George Mason University will take place June 3-6, 2008 outside Washington, DC.
The Washington Health Policy Institute explores all facets of the health policymaking process and provides participants with the knowledge needed to make a difference in the U.S. health care system.
The policymaking process is illuminated by examining both current national and state challenges. By learning about policymaking through selected program and policy issues, participants will be able to transfer this knowledge to any health policy problem or circumstance. Faculty include speakers from Federal and State Health Agencies, Congress and State Legislatures, Media Experts, and Nationally Prominent Leaders in Health Policy, Nursing and Quality of Care Issues.
Institute Participants Learn About:
* How policy is made � the process, structures, players and influential forces
* How problems drive action
* The role of the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches in health policymaking
* The Federal budget
* Influences on the policy process: interest groups, Federal and state agencies, influential leaders, associations, coalitions, and the media
* The relationship between policy and politics, and political strategy
* U.S. health care infrastructure � is it up to the challenges of inadequate financing, workforce shortages, homeland security, and other issues?
* How to conduct an effective meeting with a policymaker or legislator
* Communication skills for political success
* Making Capitol Hill visits
