Discussion: Health Care PolicyIn this week’s media presentation, Dr. Trautman, Dr.
Wakefield, and Ms. Coyle discuss how public policies initiated at the national or state level
ultimately influence what occurs at the institutional and local level of nursing practice and
health care delivery. Health care policy usually is developed to address health care cost,
quality, or access, or a combination of the three. Due to the nature of their interaction with
patients, nurses are well situated to be effective, knowledgeable advocates for their
patients.In this week’s Discussion, you will examine how current policies impact how you as
a nurse provide health care. You will then select an issue of interest and determine how you
could advocate for policy in that area. To prepare:Select one
public policy that currently is impacting you and your practice. Consider the following:What
health care driver was the policy designed to address: cost, quality, access, or a
combination?Does the policy appear to be achieving its intended results? On what data are
you basing your assumption?What have been the effects (adverse or positive) of this policy
on health care cost, quality, and access?How is this policy affecting your nursing
practice?Next, select a health care issue—something you see or experience on a daily
basis—about which you would like to influence a practice change through the policy
process. Review the Learning Resources, focusing on Kingdon’s Model. How would you
utilize this model to guide your policy development?Post a brief description of a public
policy that is having an impact on your practice; summarize your analysis of the policy
using the bulleted list above as a guide. Then, summarize the issue you would like to
influence though a change in public policy, and outline how you would utilize Kingdon’s
Model to guide your policy development. Required
