NUR4837 Healthcare Policy, Advocacy, and the Political Process
Unit 2 Assignment Midterm Assignment
Let’s look a bit closer at some of the  “hot topics” for nurses in the workplace and the workforce as these areas are facing some significant changes in the near future ~ the need for change in these areas are being driven by the patient outcomes and financial impact.   Many of us are resistant to change because we don’t know what it may bring ~ but things are changing ~  So, let’s embrace it!  However, let’s look at some strategies to bring about change in an orderly fashion in the workplace.
We will be reading a bit more about innovations to address areas facing changes as the semester goes on .  Some of these include the emergence of new models of care such as telemonitoring/telehealth, and the emerging role of the advance practice nurse.  Additional topics are violence in the workplace and staffing ratios are being discussed at every level.
Your midterm assignment will be looking at a the implications of policy and politics in the workplace from the perspective of a budding nurse activist regarding ONE of the following issues:
Intersection of technology and healthcare ~ implications to policy & practice (ch. 71)
Advocating for Nurses Injured in the Workplace (ch. 65)
Increasing the numbers of Advance Practice Nurses (ch. 66)
Influencing the Workplace by Serving on a Hospital’s Board of Directors (ch. 57)
Financial pressures/Value-driven healthcare and the implications to the nurse (ch. 56,58,63)
Initiative directed at retaining the current  nursing workforce/Nursing workforce development programs
Nursing staffing ratio debate (ch. 62)
Implications to the community’s health and the role of the nurse in rural health care (ch. 61)
You will be speaking from the perspective of the nurse’s role in addressing the issue:
1.  Clearly identify why this is a hot topic
2.  After researching the issue, what have you identified as a potential solution to this issue?  Please support your choice with quality, peer reviewed references.
3.  How would you suggest that the potential solution be implemented?  What legislation should be passed/ is being proposed to address this?  This can be on at the institutional level, the local level, the regional/state level, or at the national level (Use the guidance given in Chapter 64:  Collective strategies for change in the workplace.)
4.  What do you see as the primary obstacles in implementing your proposed strategy to address the issue?
5.  How would you measure success of your implementation strategy?  (Include key players and timeline)
This should be no longer than a 3 page proposal ~ it does not need to meet APA formatting requirements in layout, however it does have to have at least 3 peer reviewed journal references that are < than 3 yrs old.   These references should be identified in APA format with corresponding in-text citations (but you're old pros at this!)
