The outcome from your executive-level meeting with your leadership team, the top three issues, and strategies to address the issues have been identified. It is now time to inform your board of trustees of your decisions and recommendations using the Issue Brief format. An Issue Brief is a concise method to define the issue, list the recommendations, and identify how the issue impacts on the organization. Briefs may be titled differently depending on the intended audience (e.g., Issue Brief, Policy Brief, or Health Brief). Wong, Green, Bazemore, and Miller (2017) provide examples of various briefs.
The Commonwealth Fund provides Issue Briefs on the analysis and recommendations for current healthcare trends. The Issue Brief example provided pertains to the impact the Affordable Care Act has on small businesses. As you prepare to complete your assignment, look at the issue brief example provided by Arensmeyer and Chase (2018) found in your resources for this week. In addition, Sarnak, Squires, Kuzmak, & Bishop (2017) provides commentary on an Issue Brief on prescriptions.
