#N545rn As a nursing leader I plan to empower my fellow nurses to advocate for safe practices, nurses, and patients. With the knowledge I have gained I have a better understanding of healthcare policy and how to inspire change with a voice. M7 @mrwalt2011

#N545rn Fee for service decreases the quality of care because it focuses on quantity not quality. It affects healthcare infrastructure for lack of reimbursement for services like CHF and chronic diseases and preventive services which decrease readmissions. M6 @mrwalt2011

#545rn The healthcare issue and policy I have chosen to address is staffing ratios. 14 states currenty have laws that address safe staffing. California was the first state to pass legislation on staffing levels. @mrwalt2011 M2

As nurse leaders we facilitate the need for coordinated care and discharge planning for at risk readmission patients. Making sure they have the 1:1 education (health literacy), medication management, follow-up, resources, transportation, and support. M6 #N541rn @kathymb4

Pima County ranks 5/15 in AZ health factors. With 22% of children living in poverty and 40% live in single parent households. Programs and assistance for children and single parents are needed at places of work and community to help improve this health need. #N541rn @kathymb4 M5

#N541rn @kathymb4 Health literacy must enable patients to understand their own health/wellbeing/disease process. Using different tools, resources, technology, and telemedicine at different levels for cultural needs would improve health literacy. Patience and understanding! M4

After viewing the Henrietta Lacks and Tuskegee project the patient rights, code of ethics, and informed consent were violated. As leaders we must guarantee patients veracity, beneficence, and nonmaleficence. #N541rn @kathymb4

Hi, my name is Lisa Myers. I work in ICU at a community hospital in Tucson, AZ. One thing I would like to learn in this class is how to translate individual bedside care to a patient population that promotes education and healthier community. M1 @kathymb4 #N541rn
