INTRODUCTION

 

In Module 1, you were introduced to healthcare policy and analysis. Throughout Module 2, you focused on an advocacy priority for a vulnerable population. Now you will begin the process of identifying strategies and influence to move policy forward.

 

During the next 3 weeks (Module 3), you will identify current, ongoing, or proposed policies that may align with your advocacy priority to examine how best to create a legislative action agenda. You will also consider the role and impact of nursing organizations, analyze the importance of evidence, and consider the best strategies for policymaking.

 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Students will:

 

Identify current and ongoing policy issues that directly impact the health and well-being of the public

Discuss the role of professional nursing organizations and advocacy groups in influencing policies that impact the health and well-being of the public

Analyze the role of the media in determining and implementing health policy agendas

Appraise the effectiveness of coalitions in enacting select health policies

Examine the use of PACs in influencing policymaking processes

Analyze the use of issue-based campaigns, grassroots initiatives, and digital media to promote a specific policy agenda

Analyze the use of evidence to inform policymaking decisions

Propose individual and collective advocacy strategies that support nurse engagement in influencing policy development impacting the health and well-being of the general public

What are legislators currently doing to address your selected advocacy priorities for a vulnerable population? Are there current policies in place? Are there current policies proposed at either the state or federal level? What are the most obvious strengths and weaknesses of these policies as they relate to your advocacy priority? What might need to change?

 

For this Discussion, you will identify a state or federal policy that aligns with your advocacy priority. After identifying the policy, you will consider how the policy aligns and supports your identified vulnerable population. How and why does this policy align with your advocacy priorities?
