How are these best practices relevant to your chosen health issue and vulnerable population?
Do the best practices make any reference to standards of care or benchmarks that should be achieved?
How could these best practices be leveraged to help inform or develop a policy and guidelines to improve care and outcomes for the vulnerable population you are working with?
How could technology be used to identify health concerns or collect data that could help health care practitioners determine which health care issues to focus on in a population?
What are the relevant laws, regulations, or policies for employing any of the technology you might find useful?
What type of policy and guidelines would be most likely to ensure improvements in care and outcomes related to your chosen health issue and vulnerable population?
Are there any policies in existence that could help inform your own policy development?
How might your proposed policy and guidelines influence the way in which care is accessed?
How might your proposed policy and guidelines influence the amount of access that is available?
