Healthcare Policy and Advocacy

Week 4 Assignment: Healthcare Policy and Advocacy – Nurs 8100 Assignment POLICY MODEL Policy models provide the framework for moving policy forward. However, not all policy models will be effective for all priorities. Therefore, it is important to appraise policy models with the specific advocacy priority in mind. For this Assignment, you will choose from four policymaking frameworks, the one that best fits your advocacy priority. You will construct a written response, with evidence, explaining the selected framework, providing specific detail regarding how it is the best fit and will move the priority forward.
