• Title page
• Introduction: Identify the health care policy problem? Who is affected? What is causing the problem? What needs to be reformed?
• Background: Present synthesis of the current evidence using statistical data from the national or state or local (institutional) level. Use 4 to 6 resources to support your health policy problem. These resources can be internet statistics from reputable websites (e.g., CDC, IOM, and so on) and based on your practice problem or other scholarly resources that you may find. This may include both research or non-research-based evidence.

Describe how you will choose among alternative solutions.)
