Advocating for Lasting Change
Develop and record a 10-15 slide, asynchronous, audiovisual presentation for policymakers, soliciting resource and
policy support for the community health care system change you proposed in the previous assessment.
Introduction
Nurse leaders must be able to make effective financial and policy decisions. Equally important is the ability to
communicate their vision for change to policymakers and provide objective, evidence-based support for their
position with respect to the regulatory, political, social, ethical, legal, and financial aspects of systemic change.
This assessment provides an opportunity to develop a presentation aimed at soliciting resource and policy support
for the community health care change you proposed in Assessment 3.
Preparation
The executive leaders at Vila Health accepted your change proposal and would like to move it forward. However,
lasting change in a volatile regulatory and policy environment will require adequate funding and support from the
applicable governing body or regulatory agency. Consequently, you have been asked to present the proposed
change to policymakers to seek their support and funding for the change as an established policy for the
organization and community.
Develop and record a video presentation for policymakers from the appropriate governing body or regulatory
agency requesting policy and financial support for your proposed change. Draw on your work in the previous
assessments and consolidate lessons learned.
The presentation requirements outlined below correspond to the grading criteria in the scoring guide, so be sure to
address each point. Read the performance-level descriptions for each criterion to see how your work will be
assessed. The Guiding Questions: Advocating for Lasting Change document provides additional considerations that
may be helpful in completing your assessment. In addition, be sure to note the requirements below for the
presentation format, length, and for citing supporting evidence.
Explain why proposed changes to a health care system require policy and financial support to ensure positive,
systemic change and to overcome present challenges.
Provide compelling evidence that proposed changes to a health care system will produce the intended
outcomes.
Provide broad budget estimates to fund specific capital or human resource outlays that are important to the
success of a proposed change.
Outline a plan for leading transformational, evidence-based change in an organization.
Assess the potential future for wellness, health, and improved overall care and the role of visionary leaders in
achieving the desired goals.
As a guide, explore the website of Healthy People 2030.
Cultivate stakeholder interest in and support for the proposed changes to a community health care system.
Develop slides that augment a multimedia presentation.
Argue persuasively to obtain policy and financial support from policymakers for a proposed community health
