Policy/Regulation Fact Sheet

As a professional nurse, you are expected to apply your expertise to patient care. On occasion, you will also be expected to share that expertise.
With evolving technology and continuous changes to regulations designed to keep up these changes, there is usually a need to share information and expertise to inform colleagues, leadership, patients, and other stakeholders.

In this Assignment, you will study a recent nursing informatics-related healthcare policy, and you will share the relevant details via a fact sheet designed to inform and educate.

To Prepare:
Review the Resources on healthcare policy and regulatory/legislative topics related to health and nursing informatics.
Consider the role of the nurse informaticist in relation to a healthcare organization’s compliance with various policies and regulations, such as the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA).
Research and select one health or nursing informatics policy (within the past 5 years) or regulation for further study.

The Assignment: (1 page not including the title and reference page)
Create a 1-page fact sheet that your healthcare organization could hypothetically use to explain the health or nursing informatics policy/regulation you selected. Your fact sheet should address the following:
Briefly and generally explain the policy or regulation you selected.
Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on system implementation.
Address the impact of the policy or regulation you selected on clinical care, patient/provider interactions, and workflow.
Highlight organizational policies and procedures that are/will be in place at your healthcare organization to address the policy or regulation you selected. Be specific.

  • Use APA format and include a title page, in-text citations, and reference page.

  1. Case Study: Stellar is a new faculty member in a full-time, tenured track clinical faculty position. She has been a practicing RN for the past 10 years in pediatrics. Her highest degree achieved is an MSN in Nursing with an emphasis in nursing education and she continues to work PRN at the local children’s hospital in the pediatric ICU. Her contract states her job responsibilities include 70% Teaching, 30% Scholarship/Service. She has been assigned to teach the undergraduate pediatric clinical course in the spring semester and to help with the fundamentals skills lab in the fall semester. She has been assigned a mentor for the next year.
    1. Describe the expectations Prof. Stellar can have of the mentoring process and responsibilities of her and her mentor as related to current suggested practices. This discussion should be at least two robust paragraphs.
    2. Stellar is considering scholarship as related to her tenure track position. The administration has fully embraced Boyer’s expanded model of scholarship and is encouraging Prof. Stellar to consider scholarly activities she should plan to include in her first and five year goals to facilitate her success on tenure track. Create realistic goals that Prof. Stellar could accomplish in one year and five year increments related to the pillars of scholarship as described by Boyer.
  2. There is much in the literature describing the potential difficult transition from clinical practice to role as academic nurse educator. Discuss the readings related to this transition and share your thoughts. What are the practical applications to consider? How can we better prepare nursing faculty? If you have personal experiences, feel free to share. This discussion should be at least two robust paragraphs.

Respond to two peers’ postings. Each response described below should be at least 1-2 robust paragraphs.

  1. Compare and contrast your responses in the case study with your peers’ post.
  2. Extend the dialog on how to better assist in the transition from practice to educator.

Global Healthcare Comparison Matrix and Narrative Statement

If you talk about a possible poor health outcome, do you believe that outcome will occur? Do you believe eye contact and personal contact should be avoided?
You would have a difficult time practicing as a nurse if you believed these to be true. But they are very real beliefs in some cultures.
Differences in cultural beliefs, subcultures, religion, ethnic customs, dietary customs, language, and a host of other factors contribute to the complex environment that surrounds global healthcare issues. Failure to understand and account for these differences can create a gulf between practitioners and the public they serve.
In this Assignment, you will examine a global health issue and consider the approach to this issue by the United States and by one other country.

To Prepare:
Review the World Health Organization’s (WHO) global health agenda and select one global health issue to focus on for this Assignment.
Select at least one additional country to compare to the U.S. for this Assignment.
Reflect on how the global health issue you selected is approached in the U.S. and in the additional country you selected.
Review and download the Global Health Comparison Matrix provided in the Resources.

Part 1: Global Health Comparison Matrix
Focusing on the country you selected and the U.S., complete the Global Health Comparison Matrix. Be sure to address the following:
Consider the U.S. national/federal health policies that have been adapted for the global health issue you selected from the WHO global health agenda. Compare these policies to the additional country you selected for study.
Explain the strengths and weaknesses of each policy.
Explain how the social determinants of health may impact the global health issue you selected. Be specific and provide examples.
Using the WHO’s Organization’s global health agenda as well as the results of your own research, analyze how each country’s government addresses cost, quality, and access to the global health issue selected.
Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the health of the global population. Be specific and provide examples.
Explain how the health policy you selected might impact the role of the nurse in each country.
Explain how global health issues impact local healthcare organizations and policies in both countries. Be specific and provide examples.

Part 2: A Plan for Social Change
Reflect on the global health policy comparison and analysis you conducted in Part 1 of the Assignment and the impact that global health issues may have on the world, the U.S., your community, as well as your practice as a nurse leader.
In a 1-page response, create a plan for social change that incorporates a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
Explain how you would advocate for the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens might impact your local practice and role as a nurse leader.
Explain how the incorporation of a global perspective or lens into your local practice as a nurse leader represents and contributes to social change. Be specific and provide examples.
