In this assessment, you will report on your experience developing strategies, programs, and policies toward improving outcomes related to DIABETES global health issue. Part of the assessment will require you to present at a meeting of a relevant professional organization or at a meeting with a relevant government official. Be sure you budget the time to complete this aspect of the assessment.<\/p>\n

A variety of national and international documents guides policy development across the globe. In the United States, Healthy People 2020 provides goals and a vision for “a society in which all people live long, healthy lives” (HealthyPeople.gov, n.d., “Vision,” para. 1). The United States also has a guiding document to inform health policy at the international level. In its global health initiative, the United States outlines health and human services priorities that guide the funding and program development for more than 80 countries (KFF, 2017). Finally, at the international level, the United Nations’ MDGs guide the efforts of local governments and external funding sources to meet not only health needs but also social needs of developing countries (Merson et al., 2012). The SDGs will continue the work of the MDGs.<\/p>\n

Though consensus documents help to inform health policy, funding for programs is imperative if benefits are to be sustained over time. For this assessment, you will continue that discovery as you learn about the role global health initiatives have in supporting and formulating public policy in the health sector. Even if policy and funding are in place, health programs can fail if social and cultural concerns are not addressed.<\/p>\n

Assessment Summary<\/h2>\n
\n

Global population health is everyone\u2019s concern, and nursing leadership has a role in increasing knowledge and supporting the use of available resources to the fullest. Members of the nursing profession have a responsibility to advocate for others in need of care. This can be accomplished in many ways.<\/p>\n

Membership in professional organizations such as the Association of Nurse Practitioners (ANP), the American Nurses Association (ANA), or the National Association of School Nurses (NASN) provides an opportunity for networking, as well as advocacy. In these interactions, you can share knowledge and learn about other populations and how to influence policy with a focus on disease management and health prevention and promotion. Opportunities to develop strategies for improvement within a strong political group will provide strength for change.<\/p>\n

Learning about the needs of countries that have been devastated by natural disasters and further compromised by disease prompts one to take action. In many cases, preexisting barriers must be addressed before resources can even be effective. Focusing on your previously identified country, plan strategies that you feel would address the key issues by priority. Perhaps use the resources available or plan for future changes to alleviate and modify these issues.<\/p>\n

In this assessment, you have a choice between Exercise A or B. Please read each one carefully before making your choice.<\/p>\n

Exercise A<\/strong>. You are requested to attend a meeting of one of the professional organizations within your community. Each organization usually has chapters that should be active within designated regions. At this meeting, present your developed strategies and allow time to answer questions and provide additional information as feedback by the group. If action items are being considered, a committee may be formed and further work groups developed. A summary of this meeting needs to be written up and future plans discussed.<\/p>\n

Exercise B<\/strong>. Contact the office of your state senator or Congressional representative and schedule an appointment. These politicians have local offices within your voting district where you should be able to visit with them. At your meeting, the agenda should include your concerns about global population health and progress that is being made through policy decisions. To prepare yourself for this meeting, review what Congress has been working on to improve the health of global populations. As a nurse leader, be prepared to discuss how to influence change through the strategies you have prepared.& A summary of this meeting needs to be written up and future plans discussed. Remember, as nurses, we are involved in lobby days, during which groups of nurses go to the capitol and demonstrate advocacy as change agents. Nurses can affect the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After selecting your exercise, make sure you have prepared your strategic plan, policy proposal, and any presentation or speaking notes you will need for your meeting of choice. You should leverage the work you have done in the previous assessments related to your chosen global health issue. The research, interviews, data collection, writing, and project proposal or educational resource that you have already completed should help to inform and support your preparation for your presentation or meeting. Remember, the goal of your meeting or presentation is to advocate for specific actions to help improve the current and future outcomes of your chosen global health issue.<\/p>\n

You will make a video in which you discuss, present, and reflect on your experiences related to your topic, the meeting or presentation, and any outcomes achieved.<\/p>\n
