PHE5005 Week 1 : Building a Bridge to Somewhere Better: Linking Health Care Research and Health Policy

Establishing successful partnerships is the foundation for many services in the healthcare industry. Some partnerships are formed to gain knowledge and expertise in a new field of operation or service, and some partnerships are formed to share resources. Other partnerships are formed to conduct participatory research to contribute to short-term change or long-term progress, such as policy creation. For the assignment this week, you will analyze the following journal article to identify successful partnerships with major stakeholders in the US healthcare industry:

Davis, M. M., Gross, C. P., & Clancy, C. M. (2012). Building a bridge to somewhere better: Linking health care research and health policy. Health Services Research, 47(1pt2), 329–336. doi: 10.1111/j.1475-6773.2011.01373.x. (EBSCO AN: 70285300).

Write a 3–5-page paper in Microsoft Word format. Include the following:

•Identify the successful partnerships and collaborations mentioned in the article. •Describe the leadership qualities the parties possessed that made these partnerships successful. •Compare the mission and vision of the partners. Include how the agencies complemented each other. •List other agencies—that were not mentioned in the article—that may have contributed to the partnership.

Be sure to support your statements with scholarly references and appropriate examples. Cite all sources using the APA format.
