NUR 508 Week 2Assignment
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 he/she 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, healthcare, and/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 750-1000 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.
- 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.
- Include a specific section for the exact wording for
the bill or change in wording of the law.
- Include the plan for the implementation of your policy
development, to lobbying for passage, to next steps after passage.
- 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:
- Review different pieces of legislation for ideas on
wording.
- 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.
- Refer to the Nursing Leadership Health Policy
Presentation Rubric.
- Submit the assignment to the instructor by the end of
Topic 2.
Prepare this assignment according to
the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success
Center. An abstract is not required.
You are required to submit this
assignment to Turnitin. Refer to the directions in the Student Success Center.

- Select one public agency and one private agency and
differentiate their roles and major activities in addressing cost and
quality in health care. See Topic 4 Readings for sources regarding health
care agencies.
- Analyze current and projected initiatives to improve
quality while simultaneously controlling costs. Describe any unintended
consequences.
- Synthesize implications for staff nurses and advanced
practice nurses, including evidence-based practice, relative to cost and
quality.

Resource 1: CLC Health Issue Analysis Overview
Group work has benefits and
liabilities. EVERYONE assigned to a CLC is expected to equally participate in
the work in terms of time and quality of effort. Each participant has strengths
and it is reasonable to apportion the work to make best use of this. Some are
natural leaders. Our strengths can be our greatest liabilities: No one wants to
be bossed around no matter how skilled the boss is. Honest communication is
critical to effective group work. The best way to avoid conflict is to set very
clear expectations up front. Then, if someone does not do what is expected
him/her, he/she can be referred to the original agreement rather than have the
confrontation become personal.
Course instructors are able to
observe the group process in the CLC forum. If the work takes place outside the
forum, this information will be absent. Be certain (even if communicating via
e-mail, phone, or face-to-face) to record the communication in the CLC forum.
CLC Project Overview
The purpose of this assignment is to
critically analyze a health care issue through the focus of major concepts from
each Topic. There are six components to this assignment after the CLC agreement
is signed and the topic is identified. It is not expected that every member of
the CLC group will contribute to each assignment, but that assignments will be
divided fairly and equally among the group. Each of the written components of
the CLC project will be 500-1,000 words. These papers should be in APA format
with a title and a reference page. An abstract is not required. An introduction
is required ONLY for Part 1 and is not required in any parts thereafter. It is
the intention that if one were to take the six parts of this assignment and put
them together, a comprehensive and cohesive analysis would be produced. Part 1
is worth 3 points and each of the subsequent parts (2-6) are worth 4 points
each.
Topic 1 (10 points)
Check into the CLC group and provide
contact information and describe prior experience, if any, with health policy.
Locate and read the CLC Agreement provided by the instructor,
located within the Additional Resources Folder in Canyon Connect. Choose one
member to transfer the document to the CLC forum. Decide upon the process
needed to fill out the contract. Everyone should participate. Before filling
out the agreement, it may be helpful for each student to describe the most
difficult, frustrating, helpful, or beneficial apects of working on a collaborative
project. Getting this type of information out in the open ahead of time may
help to prevent conflict later on. Since no one is angry yet, you can
comfortably list what is likely to make you angry and also what would make you
satisfied.
Complete the CLC Agreement (except
for the final block, which is used at the end). Select someone to submit
the CLC Agreement by the end of Topic 1.
Topic 2 (10 points)
Initiate a conversation regarding
potential topics of interest. This should be a health issue with national and
international relevance that will be the basis for your final project. It may
be helpful to identify a number of topics of interest and have individual group
members do a quick survey of the literature to be sure that there is current
information available. Revise the CLC Agreement with the
choice of the topic identified in the title and re-submit the CLC
Agreement.There is no formal writing requirement for the topic
selection. It is merely a brief paragraph declaring your identified topic.
Topic 3 – Part 1 (50 points)
Research and outline the history of
the health issue. Write a formal paper in APA format (500-1,000 words in
length), describing the history of the issue. A title, introduction, and a
reference page are required, but an abstract and conclusion are not. Include
the following:
1) Influences such as determinants
of health and socioeconomic status.
2) Past and present initiatives
(private and public) to address the issue.
3) Outcomes that have been developed
and utilized to measure progress on the issue.
4) The current status of the health
issue based on measured outcomes.
Topic 4 – Part 2 (60 points)
Describe the national and
international implications of the health issue. Write a formal paper (500-1,000

4) Efforts of the World Health

words in length), using APA format. Include a title and a reference page. An
abstract, introduction, and conclusion are not required. Include a title page
and a reference page, and the following:

for initiatives that address the health issue. Include both public and private

sources.
3) Differentiate how being insured

Topic 6 – Part 4 (60 points)

words in length), using APA format. A title page and a reference page are
required, but an abstract, introduction, and conclusion are not. Include the
following:
1) Examine the previously addressed
aspects of health policies, finance, global/national prevention, and/or
treatment initiatives related to the health issue by identifying applicable
ethics principles.
