CHAMBERLAIN NUR 508 Week
2 Benchmark Assignment - Nursing Leadership Health Policy Paper
The IOM Future of Nursing report calls for
an increase in leadership from nurses at all levels. One way nurses demonstrate
their role as a leader, is through public policy change. A leader does not
always carry an official title or position, but demonstrates leadership through
the work and the stance the leader takes to make a change for the good of
others. Nurses have been noted by the Gallop poll year after year as the most
trusted professionals.
This assignment requires thought about a
public policy that is needed or needs to be changed that relates to nursing,
health care, or the public. Policy changes can occur by working with members of
your legislature, and state or national nurses associations, to introduce a new
bill and/or change to a current law in your state or federal government.
Examples of public policy includes any component of the current legislation
governing health care, Medicare Part D, Medicaid, nursing regulation,
medication technicians, etc.
In
750-1,000 words, propose a health policy change (that is currently a bill, a
law, or may not exist at all) at the state or federal level that you believe
needs to change and why.
1.The policy must not be a clinical care
policy for individual care. The policy involved may include public or community
health, legislative or regulatory, professional organization
(nursing-oriented), advanced nursing practice, health plan, or hospital plan.
2.Include a specific section for the exact
wording for the bill or change in wording of the law.
3.Include the plan for the implementation
of your policy development, to lobbying for passage, to next steps after
passage.
4.Discuss who would be the champion for the
bill/law change from your state advocates (legislators, federal legislators,
local or national state nursing organizations). Are these individuals also
influential in making changes occur? Did you vote for the individual in office
that you want to help you make this change?
Resources:
1.Review different pieces of legislation
for ideas on wording.
2.Visit your state’s legislative
governmental affairs website site to understand the process your policy change
could take if you wanted to introduce to into legislation.
