Advocating For New Practice Approaches Through Policy

  

Advocating for New Practice Approaches Through Policy

“I think one’s feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.”
—Florence Nightingale

Through the policy process, nurses can put their feelings—as well as their experiences and expertise—into actions that create results. In this course, you have been honing your skills for critically assessing evidence with the purpose of improving practice and developing new practice approaches. As a DNP-prepared nurse, you can influence health care outcomes at the population or aggregate level. Leading policy development to address health care concerns is a vital way to achieve this.

For the past several weeks, you have been focusing on a health care issue of interest to you for your EBP Project. For this Discussion, consider how you could lead policy development in support of a proposed evidence-based practice approach that addresses that issue and is designed to promote quality.

Reference: Nursing Schools. (2012). 100 entertaining and inspiring quotes for nurses. Retrieved from http://www.nursingschools.net/blog/2010/06/100-entertaining-inspiring-quotes-for-nurses/

To prepare:

  • Select one of the new practices approaches you      developed for the Week 6 Discussion (See attached file)
  • Review the Ridenour and Trautman (2009) and      Stokowski et al. (2010) articles listed in the Learning Resources. Assess      the strategies for engaging in the policy process.
  • Consider the barriers to using evidence to      affect changes in health care policy discussed in the course text.
  • Brainstorm ideas for leading policy development      related to your suggested practice approach, as well as ideas for      addressing those barriers.

By tomorrow Wednesday 10/10/18 at 12 pm, write a minimum of 550 words essays in APA format with at least 3 references (see attached file) from the list of REQUIRED READINGS below. Include the level one headers as numbered below:

Post a cohesive response that addresses the following:

1) Identify your proposed practice approach in the first line of your posting (See my PIICOT question below).

2) How would you lead policy development for your selected issue?

3) What strategies could you use to overcome barriers you may encounter while engaging policy makers? (Select three or more strategies to focus on in your posting.)

Advocating For Public Health Policy 18875111

For this assignment, you should create an approximately 10 minute presentation* that addresses each of the following points:

  • Discuss the public health issue that your proposed policy is intended to address. Questions to consider:
    • Who does this health issue affect?
    • What is the impact of this health issue on the community?
    • Why does this health issue need to be addressed?
  • Explain the proposed public health policy. Questions to consider:
    • Who will be affected by this policy?
    • How will this policy address the health issue?
    • What will change by enacting this policy?
  • Evaluate the impacts of the proposed policy. Questions to consider:
    • What are the costs and benefits of the policy?
    • What are the risks of enacting or not enacting the policy?
    • How will the lives of people who are affected by the health issue change if this policy is enacted?
  • Create an influential presentation that affects voting behaviors of legislators. Questions to consider:
    • What information about this policy would potentially affect the voting behavior of legislators from across the political spectrum (eg. conservative, moderate, liberal, progressive; particularly those who might not support the policy based on political orientation)?
    • What are the most important messages that legislators need to hear about this policy?
    • How would the constituents of the legislators voting for this policy feel about this policy and a legislator who votes for it?
    • What information would a legislator need to “sell” the policy to consitutents who were perhaps not in favor of adopting the policy?

Note: Your presentation can be created using screencast software on your computer, the camera and microphone on your computer or handheld device, or the voice recording functions within a presentation program (like PowerPoint). Please see the announcement posted in Week 2 for more information on how to create effective presentations using one of these methods.

Advocating For The Nursing Role In Program Design And Implementation 19200113

 

As their names imply, the honeyguide bird and the honey badger both share an affinity for honey. Honeyguide birds specialize in finding beehives but struggle to access the honey within. Honey badgers are well-equipped to raid beehives but cannot always find them. However, these two honey-loving species have learned to collaborate on an effective means to meet their objectives. The honeyguide bird guides honey badgers to newly discovered hives. Once the honey badger has ransacked the hive, the honey guide bird safely enters to enjoy the leftover honey.

Much like honeyguide birds and honey badgers, nurses and health professionals from other specialty areas can—and should—collaborate to design effective programs. Nurses bring specialties to the table that make them natural partners to professionals with different specialties. When nurses take the requisite leadership in becoming involved throughout the healthcare system, these partnerships can better design and deliver highly effective programs that meet objectives.
