W2 Policy letter checkpoint

Week2 Healthcare Policy & Finance assignment

Policy letter checkpoint

Note: The Policy Letter Checkpoint counts for 5% of the final course grade and supports the later Policy Advocacy Letter (submission in Week 6), which accounts for 15% of the final course grade.  

 

Assignment Overview: Nurses can advocate for healthcare policies to promote justice, fairness, and health equity at facility, local, state, national, and global levels. Writing a letter of concern for or support towards a particular policy or legislation is an effective way to hold leaders accountable in their positions.  

 

Assignment Instructions: Complete the following steps to begin your Policy Advocacy Letter for this week’s checkpoint assignment. You will submit your responses in an APA-formatted paper (approximately 200 words in length) with in-text citations and references for any cited resources used to support your proposal.

· Identify a pending healthcare bill that needs improvement or propose a new bill recommendation relevant to your current practice, community health needs, or personal interests. Submit a link or a PDF of the bill with your paper for this assignment. 
Note: Navigate to 


Congress.gov


 and view the following video on

.

· Explain why that bill or recommendation is important. You must specify the exact piece of legislation in your paper and refer to its appropriate title – e.g., “Title VIII funding, H. R. 952”.

· Identify a leader or change agent (local, state, and national leader/legislator) who is appropriate to advocate for this policy change or adoption. Briefly justify why that leader is an appropriate choice for this policy change or adoption. 
Note: To determine your representatives, navigate to

.

· Identify the official mailing or email address of this leader. 
Note: Your elected officials’ email and physical addresses are available on their websites. You can find out who represents you on the 


House


 and 


Senate

 

 

Additional notes:

·
You are advocating for 
pending legislation.  You cannot choose something that has already passed because if that is the case, no advocacy is necessary.

·
Always refer to your selected piece of legislation by its appropriate title – e.g., “Title VIII funding, H. R. 952”.

·
The elected official you contact must have the authority to vote for the proposed legislation. The mayor, governor, or assemblyman (woman) of a city would have no legislative authority and therefore would not be appropriate. You are most likely going to contact a state or federal member of Congress (House or Senate).
