During this first week, we will look at types of policies and their relationship to healthcare policy. We will then take a look at the relationship of values to politics and consider the spheres of political action in nursing. It also is important to examine the history of policy development and policy making in nursing. Finally, we will link basic ethical principles to issues related to healthcare policy. When you think about policy, and especially healthcare policy, what comes to mind? Consider possible changes to our American healthcare policies with new leadership in Washington. In addition, consider the impact these new policies will have on nursing practice in your community, state, and country, as well as the global community. As you begin this course, notice that the conclusions of several chapters in the textbook contain special features, such as Vignettes, Policy Spotlights, and Taking Action. Some of these features are assigned as added reading that serve to provide specific life examples of the topics discussed in the individual chapters. Take a look at the contents of these special features, whether assigned or not, and you may see that some apply directly to your chosen policy priority. The assigned journal articles further enhance the content of the readings and lesson. The many websites for various professional organizations found in the Webliography will help you with tracking various policy issues, and they will list important contact information, as well as examples of position statements and briefs. Finally, the video links provide presentation examples and ideas, as well as the video clips, that give you a broad understanding of healthcare policy issues impacting the United States and the global community.
