Policy Issue Paper | Milestone #1: Statement

You will select a contemporary policy problem related to one of the larger policy areas outlined in the textbook (Chapters 10-15) to guide your Policy Issue Paper from:
Christopher A. Simon (2017). Public Policy: Preferences and Outcomes. 3rd Edition. New York: Routledge.
Submit a one paragraph statement about which policy area or problem you intend to examine and 5 references. This will be the basis of your first presentation.
Your selected policy problem should be narrowly defined so as to make the paper more manageable.
For example, if you are interested in environmental policy, then you should select a problem such as “improving groundwater quality for farmers in the Cumberland Valley” rather than “improving global water quality.” The more narrowly defined the problem, the more manageable will be writing the paper. In order to help facilitate a quality paper, your policy issue paper will be “turned in” for assessment at several critical points throughout the semester.
GRADING CRITERIA: For grading complete details, please review the attached rubric. The following criteria will be used to evaluate submissions.
Writing quality: Did you take your policy issue to task? Demonstrate that you have clearly thought about the material and raise interesting arguments, solutions, and/or problems that respond to the instructions/questions on the prompt.
Writing clarity: Was the paper readable and well organized? Clear of grammatical and spelling errors, organized, and flows well.
References: Did you use appropriate readings and or other course materials in your work? Reference evidence with consistent & accurate use of citations* both in-text and in a bibliography at the end. Assignment prompt is for 5 quality references.

he role nurse plays in COVID vaccination mandate, telemedicine, and prescription drug pricing as advocates in the healthcare system.
Nurses are in a prime position to significantly contribute to healthcare reform that would increase public health and save costs. They are the largest healthcare professionals and have direct patient contact, making them ideal advocates for positive change within the healthcare system. Considering the COVID-19 epidemic, nurses have been instrumental in the vaccination mandate, playing a key role in educating the public about the safety and efficacy of the vaccines and administering the vaccines themselves. For example, according to a recent study, the Vaccination of healthcare workers against COVID-19 was associated with a decrease in virus transmission within healthcare settings. (Katchamart, et al. 2020)
Telemedicine is another area where nurses have the potential to lead the way in promoting access to care and reducing healthcare costs. By connecting patients with healthcare providers remotely, nurses can help improve access to care for individuals in rural or underserved areas and reduce unnecessary in-person visits. According to a recent study, remote consultations for minor health problems resulted in significant cost savings and high patient satisfaction rates (Bach et al. 2021).
Finally, nurses are well-positioned to advocate for prescription drug pricing reform. They have a strong understanding of the medications they prescribe and administer and are in a unique position to understand the financial burden that high drug prices place on patients and the healthcare system. According to a study conducted by National Nurses United in 2019, states that Medication prices are driving up healthcare costs, and nurses see firsthand how this hits patients with fixed incomes and those who are uninsured or underinsured. (National Nurses United, 2019). Nurses play a key role in COVID-19 Vaccination mandates, Telemedicine, and prescription drug pricing as they have direct contact with patients and can influence the public on the safety and efficacy of vaccines and their potential to reduce healthcare costs.
One relevant Student Learning Outcome related to the Discussion Topic is “Determine the effects of healthcare policy on nursing roles and healthcare delivery.” This outcome seeks to understand how national, state and local policies shape how nurses practice and how healthcare is delivered to patients. Understanding healthcare policies is crucial for nurses as it allows them to understand the impact of these policies on nursing roles and healthcare delivery and how it affects their ability to provide high-quality care to patients.
The learning outcome can be explored by examining the impact of telemedicine policies on nursing roles and healthcare delivery. Telemedicine has become increasingly important in healthcare delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent study found that remote consultations for minor health problems resulted in significant cost savings and high patient satisfaction rates (Bach et al. 2021). This highlights the importance of telemedicine as a tool for nurses to provide care remotely and improve access to healthcare, particularly in rural or underserved areas. However, more policy support is needed to ensure that nurses and other healthcare providers have the necessary training and resources to use telemedicine in their practice effectively.
Healthcare policies impacting nursing roles and healthcare delivery related to prescription drug pricing. According to a study by National Nurses United in 2019, nurses are in a unique position to understand the financial burden that high drug prices place on patients and the healthcare system as a whole and how it impacts nurses’ ability to provide care for their patients, and how it affects the nursing practice and role in the healthcare system.
In conclusion, nurses must comprehend how healthcare policy affects nursing duties and healthcare delivery. It allows them to understand how policies at different levels shape nursing practice and how it affects healthcare delivery. This knowledge is important for nurses to be better equipped to advocate for policies that support providing high-quality care to patients.

Cultural Communication Practices Paper Proposal

Throughout this course, you will be drafting and revising a research paper that connects specific cultural communication patterns or practices to the history, values, and beliefs of that culture. You should focus on a culture of which you are not a member (e.g., you would not research GCU cultural communication patterns because you are a member of the GCU community).
For this assignment, you will submit a 150 words proposal about the patterns or practices you wish to study. In addition to the proposal, you must include the APA citation and a 50-75 words summary of three sources you might use in your final paper. You must complete social science research for cultural communication practice. You may also ask your instructor for guidance on appropriate sources.
This is not an all-inclusive list and you are free to pick any pattern or practice in collaboration with your instructor. Notice that each of these articles addresses a communication issue and links it to cultural distinctiveness. The focus of your paper is to present research on the history, beliefs, and values of a cultural group and give examples of communication patterns or practices that are influenced by these histories, beliefs, and/or values.

research questions

To complete this assignment, look at the provided scenarios, identify the research question you think was originally asked, and explain why you think that was the question.
Submit your assignment here. Make sure you’ve included all the required elements by reviewing the requirements and rubric.
Overview
In this assignment, you will review a research scenario and identify the possible research question the study was based on.
Prompt
One of the attributes of a skilled researcher is their ability to identify the research questions being asked. In this activity, you will be given a variety of research study scenarios, and you will attempt to determine the research question that was asked. You will then provide a brief explanation of why you think it was the research question that was originally asked.
Scenario One:
You are a social worker in an outpatient clinical setting. You receive referrals from juvenile court counselors (also known as probation officers) to provide clinical assessments and therapy for juveniles aged 12 to 17 suspected of having a mental illness such as depression and/or a substance abuse issue. In your work over the last several years, you noticed that when a youth has been in treatment for several months, they tend to have fewer arrests for crimes. You are interested in conducting a research study about what is at the core of this outcome.
What is your research question?
Why do you think this is the research question being asked?
Scenario Two:
You are a caseworker responsible for investigating child abuse and neglect reports in your city. After team meeting discussions with fellow caseworkers, you noticed that when the report caseloads are high (over 50 cases per worker), there tend to be more substantiated cases of abuse before the caseworker can get involved in the initial case management after adjudication. It often takes one to two weeks before a caseworker can actually get involved in the case: This can be due to higher priorities among other cases, other caseworkers being out sick or on vacation, or the amount and type of paperwork involved. You are interested in knowing what can be improved to reduce the numbers of substantiated abuse cases and the time frame between report and actual involvement, which would minimize the likelihood of this abuse occurring.
What is your research question?
Why do you think this is the research question being asked?
Scenario Three:
You are a health educator for your county’s public health department. You work with a team of nurses, social workers, a dietician, and other health educators to help reduce the rate of type 2 diabetes among adults who come to the clinic. You have often noticed that the children of parents who have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes tend to be overweight. You are interested in how eating habits in the family may change after a parent with diabetes is educated on proper diet to reduce weight.
What is your research question?
Why do you think this is the research question being asked?
Scenario Four:
You are a county commissioner for your county: You are responsible for keeping your county safe from crime and serving as an ambassador for its citizens. While meeting with the mayor and your sheriff’s department and deputies, you were told that there has been an increase in human trafficking reports and arrests since the new interstate opened about six months ago. You want to know if there has been an increase of human trafficking happening among residents in your county, or if the increase is due to people travelling on the interstate and being caught while stopping in your county.
What is your research question?
Why do you think this is the research question being asked?
Scenario Five:
You work for your state’s Department of Health and Human Services and have been involved in ensuring that one state psychiatric hospital’s patients are safely moved to the newly built state hospital, including its emergency room services. The old hospital will close once all patients are moved in the next month; the new hospital is two hours away.
