Health policies are rules to guide actions, plans, and decisions by a healthcare organization, a community, or nationwide.
Health laws
However, health laws are administered through the court system and are enforceable. A health law is an established standard, system, rule, or procedure that must be followed. Healthcare laws can be in the form of regulations, statutes, constitutional law, or case law.
Organizations and people are required to comply with laws. Additionally, health law focuses on the executive, judicial, and legislative rules and regulations governing the healthcare industry.
While a policy can be a law, it can also be a voluntary practice by a group, organization, or government.
