Week 5: Leader Responsibility to Influence and Inform Healthcare Policy
Discuss the main task of leaders’ responsibility related to influencing and informing healthcare
policy issues and how you will apply these tasks within your current role and/or expected role
after graduation.
Nurses are the front-line caregivers in our health system, [which] gives them a unique and
invaluable perspective on patient care," Dr. Hassmiller said. "They see firsthand the gaps in the
healthcare system and the consequences of those gaps. They see where improvements are
needed to increase access, promote prevention, coordinate care, and improve the quality and
efficiency of healthcare."
It is important for nursing leaders to remember that political decisions and social
policy initiatives have an impact on nursing practice. Nursing leaders need to attain a place at
the table where policy decisions are made to have a say in the policies that govern nursing.
Nursing leaders who understand policy development are well equipped to influence
decision-making about professional practice issues in their workplaces and to contribute to the
development of health and nursing policy. Leaders in healthcare policy should learn how policy
is developed and seek out areas of policy they want to influence. Their influence in healthcare
policies protects patient safety, increases the quality of care, facilitates their access to required
resources, and promotes quality health care.
Nurse leaders involved in the policy process need to develop creative approaches to
connect the concept of practice to policy (Mund, 2012). Creative approaches may include
utilizing several different avenues to get involved. Membership and involvement in professional
organizations and coalitions is an excellent source of involvement. Membership in these
organizations provides nurses and nurse leaders with a voice when healthcare issues are being
discussed and changes are proposed at all levels in healthcare policy. Nurses also should serve
actively on advisory committees, commissions, and boards where policy decisions are made to
advance health systems to improve patient care. Nursing leaders must build new partnerships
