This Student Workbook for Evidence-Informed Health Policy, Revised Second Edition, is designed to be a companion to the textbook and provides learning activities and case studies to deepen your understanding of government structure, function, and evidence-informed health policymaking. Each learning activity begins with objectives, and many suggest accompanying resource material or additional external resources, as well as specific instructions.
What happens in health policy at local, state, and federal levels directly affects patients, nurses, and nursing practice. Some healthcare professionals, though, are intimidated by the complex and often nonlinear policy process or simply don't know how to take the first step toward implementing policy change. In the second edition of Evidence-Informed Health Policy, authors Jacqueline M. Loversidge and Joyce Zurmehly demystify health policymaking and equip nurses and other healthcare professionals with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to navigate the first of many steps into health policy. This book translates the EBP language of clinical decision-making into an evidence-informed health policy (EIHP) model-a foundation for integrating evidence into health policymaking and leveraging dialogue with stakeholders.
This revised edition includes:
Fresh perspectives on the use of evidence to inform smart health policy
Lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and the global crisis to more effectively strategize for sound policy informed by the best science
A new visual representation of the EIHP model with added descriptions
Beyond-borders strategies to develop a health policy worldview
