Review health data sites such as https://www.countyhealthrankings.org/explore-health-rankings and https://www.usnews.com/news/healthiest-communities. Enter your zip code to investigate some health issues in your county and state.
Using data and resources from the two websites above and other sources you can find in a Google search or the WGU library, identify: a health issue in your community, a specific portion of the population in your community most effected by the health issue, the social factor or condition (social determinant of health (SDOH)) that leads to, worsens, or complicates the health issue for this specific population, and your recommended policy change to address the SDOH.
Complete the table below and email just the table to your assigned course instructor for feedback. Revise table based on CI feedback and complete below prior to submitting CPE Record:
Review the Guide to Identifying a Social Determinant of Health (SDOH) and Preparing to Write a Policy Brief located in Course Tips. Part of building a successful policy brief involves generating interest in the issue by creating an advocacy action plan.
Review the “ Answering the Call ” series presented by the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing organization. Watch the recorded video title “Creating an Advocacy Action Plan” found in Course Tips. Based on what you have learned, create a brief summary (less than 100 words) of the process you will use to create your advocacy action plan. |
|||||||||||||
☐ | Search the internet and WGU Library for information on building policy advocacy in nursing. Learn more about nursing’s role in policy by visiting the National League for Nursing (NLN), Advocacy & Public Policy site and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), Policy & Advocacy site. Note the toolkits and resources available. Using what you have learned from your research, create a SMART goal for moving your policy brief forward. | |||||||||||||
☐ | Before a policy can be formulated, it must first command attention or it will not be included on the policymakers agenda. After you have identified an issue and created a policy brief, you will need to draw attention to your policy brief so it can be included as an agenda item. This is the first stage in the public policy cycle, which is called agenda-setting . To start the agenda-setting phase, create a list with contact information of your local, state, and federal policymakers (e.g. Legislator, County Commissioner, School Board President, Mayor, Director of Public Health, etc.). For Federal legislators, start with https://www.congress.gov to find your state’s representatives. | |||||||||||||
☐ | Using the contact information you assembled, contact one of the policymakers from your contact list to inquire about the process for agenda-setting. If the policymaker does not respond to your request for information in a timely fashion, search the internet to learn about the process for agenda-setting. (Note: You are not sharing your policy change recommendation. You are simply inquiring about the process for agenda setting.) | |||||||||||||
☐ | Based on the agenda setting process you identified, create an action plan that includes five strategies you will use to begin the process of informing the media and stakeholders of the importance of your identified policy issue. | |||||||||||||
☐ | Create a 3–5 minute GoReact video reflection discussing your Phase 1 CPE. If you have trouble with the GoReact link, you can copy and paste the URL directly into your browser: https://lrps.wgu.edu/provision/173986697 What insights did you gain from the experience of researching and planning for policy advocacy? Are there things you would do differently next time you are involved in policy advocacy? Provide encouraging and constructive comments to the video reflections of two peers in GoReact. | |||||||||||||

☐ | Nursing policy advocacy is more effective when there is support from members of an interprofessional healthcare team. To learn more about forming interprofessional teams, review this American Nurses Association article and develop the skills to be an effective communicator across care teams by completing some of the modules in Team STEPPS from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ).

☐ | As an advanced professional nurse, you are responsible for educating the advocates on the policy issue and the process for agenda-setting. Create an agenda for your first team meeting that includes a list of items you will discuss. This agenda should inform and educate the team regarding the policy brief you created and the process that should be used for agenda-setting. Once you have created your agenda, share this with policy advocates to get their feedback and suggestions. Include their feedback in your GoReact video reflection. | |
☐ |
Create a 3–5 minute GoReact video reflection of your experiences describing what you learned during the process of building a structure for your policy advocacy team and creating an educational agenda to build advocacy for your policy issue.
