DNP820 Module 7 Assignment
Health Policy and Advocacy
This course, you will apply the concepts learned by
collaborating with or at least contacting a policy maker
about an issue that
you think would advance nursing scope, practice or culture
or improve patient
care and outcomes in a positive way.
Student should research the literature searching for how
the
nurse can re-conceptualize their role from seeing health
policy as “something
that happens” to them to “something they can shape”
(Institute of Medicine
[IOM], 2011, p. S-6).
In Module two, you were asked to describe an issue you
hoped
to improve and you created a presentation about the
plan. This week, you will
present on the progress you have made during the past 5
weeks. This policy
change proposal could be with state Board of nursing, local
boards, state
representatives, or member of Congress/Senate. Based on the
issues you selected
in Module two, that you are passionate about, researched in
depth, and contact
with the appropriate policy maker (preferably in person,
but at least by email
or letter) details of your position and the evidence that
supports it, explain
your results, determination and outcomes in a 20 slide
PowerPoint presentation
with audio and speaker notes on all content slides. Make
certain to include
your sources and a reference slide.
