Advocating for New Practice Approaches Through Policy

(Advocating For New Practice Approaches Through Policy)

“I think one’s feelings waste themselves in words; they ought all to be distilled into actions which bring results.”
—Florence Nightingale

Through the policy process, nurses can put their feelings—as well as their experiences and expertise—into actions that create results. In this course, you have been honing your skills for critically assessing evidence with the purpose of improving practice and developing new practice approaches. As a DNP-prepared nurse, you can influence health care outcomes at the population or aggregate level. Leading policy development to address health care concerns is a vital way to achieve this.

For the past several weeks, you have been focusing on a health care issue of interest to you for your EBP Project. For this Discussion, consider how you could lead policy development in support of a proposed evidence-based practice approach that addresses that issue and is designed to promote quality.

  • Review the Ridenour and Trautman (2009) and      Stokowski et al. (2010) articles listed in the Learning Resources. Assess      the strategies for engaging in the policy process.
  • Consider the barriers to using evidence to      affect changes in health care policy discussed in the course text.
  • Brainstorm ideas for leading policy development      related to your suggested practice approach, as well as ideas for      addressing those barriers.
