Application Assignment 2: Health Policy Proposal Analysis (Policy Brief)
Nurses engaged in the policy arena often are asked to provide information on a health care topic of interest to policy
makers. This is frequently accomplished through developing a policy brief. A policy brief advocates for a particular
recommendation (prior to the enactment of a policy). Learning how to write a policy brief in a clear, succinct, scholarly, and
professional manner is an essential skill for advanced practice nurses.
For this assignment, you will assess one of the recommendations from the Institute of Medicine’s The Future of Nursing:
Leading Change, Advancing Health: Report Brief. You will then develop a policy brief to advocate for this recommendation
(the written policy brief is due in Week 7).
To prepare:
•Review the Lavis et al. article on preparing and writing policy briefs provided in the Learning Resources.
•Select one of the recommendations within the IOM The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health: Report
Brief to focus on for this assignment.
•Research the history of the problem behind the recommendation and what has been done to try to solve the problem.
•What does the recommendation say should be done? Are there any groups, nursing and others, currently supporting work
to implement the recommendation (e.g., Kaiser Family Foundation, professional organizations)? Does the
recommendation suggest specific groups that should be involved in the implementation? Think critically about how the
recommendation should be implemented – did the IOM get it right? What other strategies are possible to consider?
To complete:
•Develop a scholarly and professionally written 2to
