Historical perspective on policy, politics, and nursing
It is described that in the year 1893, Lillian Wald and Mary
Brewster believed that only living the experience of living in
very poor communities such as those shown in immigrant
communities could really impact the policies of habitability,
hygiene, health, nutrition and education in the city.
These families would learn from visiting nurse how to keep
themselves healthy in the face of the infectious diseases
rampant at the time. In addition, these visiting nurse would
respond to calls from the families in the community just as she
would respond to the calls from de physicians.
During these home visits by nurses, families could learn and
worry about staying as healthy as possible and coping with the
large number of infections that plagued them in those days.
Likewise, this group of nurses could respond in the same way to
the call of the community and the physicians for whom they
work.
Transforming their vision of how to solve health problems into
a tangible reality involved hard work and an integration strategy
with insurance companies, schools, donors, and of course, the
New York City Department of Health.
However, she persisted and managed to change the structure of
the health system; which was called Public Health. The
precarious nursing staff continued to develop programs to
promote health and prevent disease
With the idea that the strength of coalitions and agreements
could bring about major changes, Wald and his colleagues in
their workplaces and with the help of other nursing leaders were
able to establish the National Nursing Public Health
Organization in 1912, creating an organization to control and
establish the guidelines of nursing practice as protagonists of
Public Health.
On the other hand, She had developed the expertise to get
Private Foundations and Donors to seek financial support for
the initiatives she proposed. Their success in creating these
coalitions was that they had a work strategy, in the first place
they identified the problem, found the necessary resources and
used them in such a way that the objectives that the community
deserved were achieved.
Efforts were focused on the care sites and in the pursuit of the
well-being of the community, they did not manage to extend
their effect on public policies until the late 1970s. On the other
hand, they had a powerful competitor that was the medical
union that was better organized and had the support of
important contacts in the upper echelons of the government. In
addition, they preached a strong message for many decades. The
message said: "Physician were the only safe providers because
of their longer and more intensive education"; although this
position cannot currently be endorsed with sufficient data.
Another lesson learned in Public Health was the importance of
creating solid bridges between the community and the health
system.
These historical references are important to keep in mind, but
they need to continue to progress and push the politics of these
changes. However, the most important step has been achieved in
this 21st century, especially in the change of expression that is
beginning to permeate more and more, driven by insurance
companies and the community itself. Federal legislation began
to include the expression provider instead of physician or, even
better, the phrase "physicians and nurses".
Medicare and others recognized nurse practitioner as primary
care provider, although some states still maintain their
regulatory authority to allow or not full scope of practice.
Importance to advocate the role this profession holds as part of
a larger solution to improve health care in United States.
adding additional nuance to their posts.
