Hello, class. The implementation of any health-related concern, like in this case the need for an ethical, respectful, and high-quality care from the nursing homes offers what Loomis (1997) referred to as ‘strategic interaction’ with interest groups. Proposed regulations have to be in acceptance by all the interested parties (p. 36). At the point when one of the affiliated parties feels indifferent about the policies, appropriate solutions have to be made. It is through this that the influence of interest groups is sought for mutual understanding and creation of awareness to the local public health officers. This is to make sure that the philosophy of increased oversight is maintained but does not financially affect either of the nursing homes.
In healthcare provision to the community, there are several interest groups that come into play. These include the government, the insurers, suppliers, and consumers, technology producers, provider organizations (improve the financial condition), and professional schools. Any policy has an influence on either of the interest groups because they are usually the target of the policies to influence rulemaking. Through the regulatory and locative policies, as can be provided for by the interest groups, there are income, services, or other advantages that aim not to negligibly or not financially hurt any nursing home. This is and can be a good effort by the interest groups.
Actual policy preferences of the nursing homes have key differences. The policymakers can anticipate that through the hospitals, bringing of thoughts together via the interest groups extensively aims to have their preferences mirrored in any of the policies. This will also show that their needs can have some influence in the forthcoming implementation of such proposed policies. Nonetheless, the bottom line is that any health-proving institution needs to meet high standards of tidiness to bring a sense of belonging and conduciveness for the patients and visitors at large. As is stated by Boundless (2016), “Lobbying and other ways of influence prove its intensity when there is a contradiction is thoughts and through the interest groups, there is usually a final say that brings a mutual feel, and which has to be followed.”
