<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Every nurse and healthcare professional has a responsibility to understand the current health policymaking environment. What happens in health policy at the state or federal level affects the patients we care for, our practice, and ourselves.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>What happens in health policy at local, state, and federal levels directly affects patients, nurses, and nursing practice. Some healthcare professionals, though, are intimidated by the complex and often nonlinear policy process or simply don't know how to take the first step toward implementing policy change. In <em>Evidence-Informed Health Policy, </em> authors Jacqueline M. Loversidge and Joyce Zurmehly demystify health policymaking and equip nurses and other healthcare professionals with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to navigate the first of many steps into health policy. </p><p><br></p><p>The goals of this book are threefold: </p><ol><li>To persuade readers that evidence-based or evidence-informed policymaking is not, after all, an oxymoron, and that perspectives on the use of evidence in policy are changing. To our knowledge, this is the first health policy text in nursing and healthcare in which evidence-based policymaking is the primary focus.</li><li>To ground readers in policy and policymaking to a sufficient extent that it serves as a foundation for using the rest of the book.</li><li>To present the EIHP model for nursing and healthcare, adapted from the Melnyk and Fineout-Overholt EBP model. This model can be used by nurses and other healthcare professionals serving in active policymaking roles, teaching health policy, or simply interested in the process.</li></ol><p><br></p><p>The primary focus of this book is on policymaking in government, but principles and strategies presented can apply well in organizational settings. Mention of these applications is made throughout. </p><p><br></p><p>Audiences who can best benefit from this book include the following: </p><ul><li>Nurse leaders</li><li>Nurses who are members or staff of professional associations and organizations</li><li>Healthcare regulatory agency members or staff</li><li>Other healthcare professionals</li></ul><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><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><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><br>
