<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Welcome to the <em>Evidence-Informed Health Policy</em> Instructor's Guide. This guide is designed to be a resource for educators in the academic, professional association, government affairs, regulatory, or practice environments. The guide is divided into three units: </p><ul><li>Unit 1: Using the Textbook for Teaching and Learning</li><li>Unit 2: Resources for Teaching Evidence-Informed Health Policy</li><li>Unit 3: Chapter Learning Activities and Instructor Support</li></ul><p>In this instructor's guide, we provide suggestions for faculty, nurse leaders, nurse members or staff of professional associations and organizations, regulatory agency members or staff, or other healthcare professionals who are teaching others to become more familiar with the policymaking milieu and processes using the book Evidence-Informed Health Policy: Using EBP to Transform Policy in Nursing and Healthcare. For faculty in particular, the menu of chapter-by-chapter learning activities and case studies will help facilitate student learning about the public policy process and can be used as part of a health policy course at a variety of academic levels.</p><p><br></p><p>The student workbook contains the same learning activities and case studies found in the instructor's guide. However, the instructor's guide additionally contains instructor support; this consists of sections on learning activity implementation and student evaluation. Also, some learning activities require fill-in responses or answers; samples are provided for the instructor. Finally, the instructor's guide includes one learning activity found in the student workbook: suggestions for a penultimate learning activity/comprehensive policy brief. We have often used this in our courses instead of a final examination. For master's-level students, we suggest assigning a bill or other form of established policy. Doctoral-level students are guided through the process of identifying an individualized policy problem and, eventually, a viable solution; some have gone on to develop these as DNP projects.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Reviews for <em>Evidence-Informed Health Policy</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>"</em>Evidence-Informed Health Policy<em> is a significant and important book that needed to be written. The authors effectively integrate the policy process with evidence-based models and approaches. Each of the elements incorporated in this book is critical to understanding how policy evolves and why evidence is so important. While the policy process can be very messy, this book will greatly assist nurses and other healthcare providers in framing policy issues, formulating policy, influencing policymakers, and evaluating impact. As someone who teaches health policy, this book is an excellent asset for students who study health policy and the faculty who teach them."</em></p><p>-Jean Johnson, PhD, RN, FAAN</p><p>Dean Emerita and Professor</p><p>School of Nursing</p><p>George Washington University</p><p><em>"Drs. Loversidge and Zurmehly masterfully combine the theoretical and practical aspects of policymaking using a tailored evidence-based framework that most nurses will find user-friendly and relatable. Examples of real-life policy issues are interspersed throughout, along with strategy tools and tables that further facilitate readers' understanding of key policy principles. </em>Evidence-Informed Health Policy<em> is an important book that educators and students can use as a foundational guide for exploring the role of nurses in policymaking and professional advocacy." </em></p><p>-Janice K. Lanier, JD, RN</p><p>Nurse Educator/Consultant</p><p>Meredith Enterprises</p><p><em>"</em>Evidence-Informed Health Policy<em> is a must-have resource for teaching and learning how to translate the language of evidenced-based practice into health policymaking. Drs. Loversidge & Zurmehly provide an innovative model for applying EBP to health policymaking and artfully guide the reader through a study of healthcare policy and politics. This will be the preeminent guidebook for nurses who work in health policy and is a must-read for those seeking to become health policy advocates."</em></p><p>-Robin M. Rosselet, DNP, APRN-CNP, AOCN</p><p>Director of Advanced Practice Providers</p><p>The James Cancer Hospital & Solove Research Institute</p><p><em>"The authors are accomplished nurse educators with extensive experience in health policy and promulgating administrative rules. This book skillfully adapts the Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt evidence-based practice (EBP) model to health policy. It includes a discussion of the evolution of policymaking, the use of evidence to inform health policy, the health policymaking process and models, and the adaptation of the EBP model to evidence-informed policymaking. This book is relevant for those serving in active policymaking roles, for health policy teachers, and especially for doctoral students."</em></p><p>-Candace Burns, PhD, APRN, FAAOHN</p><p>Colonel (USA Retired)</p><p>Professor and Director, Dual Degree Program AGPCNP/Occupational Health Nursing</p><p>Deputy Director, USF Sunshine Education and Research Center (SERC)</p><p>University of South Florida College of Nursing</p><br>
