@LaurenMurrayVCU @HIVpxresearch @Michael_AHF Prevention is key for most if not all of health care, especially in ending HIV - let's find a cure!! #nurs638policy

@alexis_farr4 @nursedunz 100% agree! I believe that is what sets NPs apart from other health care providers, making them a significant asset #nurs638policy

[Jacquelyn Melton @VCUSON2023]

@CMAdocs is concerned NPs don't have the skills to provide adequate patient care, however more and more patients seek care from an NP. @AANP_NEWS continues to be a crucial advocate helping to bridge the gap, especially for mental health, which is affected the most #nurs638policy

@RU2VCU @plain_language @govplainlang @PLAIN_Lang_Intl Lucidity in health care is a game-changer! This can only lead to further positive patient outcomes and over all better care for all patients #nurs638policy

[Melissa Carroll @RU2VCU]

Plain language in healthcare=best practice to promote effective health literacy. Clarity, accuracy, usefulness, truthfulness. No more jargon! #nurs638policy @plain_language @govplainlang @PLAIN_Lang_Intl

@All4Dnp @DrKimSue Getting Wrecked is an astonishing read and should be studied by all health care providers so that they may have a better understanding of all angles of the opioid crisis #nurs638policy #greatread

[All4DNP @All4Dnp]

I only saw the healthcare side of the opioid crisis before this book. Getting Wrecked open my eyes to the user and criminal justice viewpoint. The struggles of this epidemic touches many lives and this book captures those for the incarcerated women of MA @DrKimSue #nurs638policy

Health policy can be a formidable process, however T. Collins' 8-step framework in "Health policy analysis: a simple tool for policy makers" simplifies policy analysis, making it easy to maneuver for all public health policy makers & practitioners #nurs638policy #policysimplified

[Jacquelyn Melton @VCUSON2023]

Constant transformation is the root to health policy. Policies may change frequently, however it allows for reflection on how we may better care for those in need. The promotion of change is dependent upon those willing to be the change. @Nurs621 #nurs638policy

[Jacquelyn Melton @VCUSON2023]

Despite mental health access advances, rural and low-socioeconomic areas remain underserviced. This comes with the price of higher acuity patients and increased cost of care. Telehealth cannot be the only option. We can do better VA! @VirginiaCHC @VirginiaDBHDS #nurs638policy

Human trafficking is modern slavery. Let's work together to protect mankind from injustice, cruelty, fraud, and trauma by enacting more laws to prevent trafficking. #nasw #unicef #nurs638policy

Every 23 seconds an American is arrested for drug possession. This is not a moral fight, it's a public health crisis. Fewer than 1 in 10 who need treatment for substance misuse/dependence get treatment. Destigmatize and Decriminalize. @GovernorVA @SenatorHashmi #nurs638policy

[McKenzie @Graymc5]

Reading “Getting Wrecked” has opened my eyes to the many facets of the opioid epidemic. There have been grave downfalls of this country in facilitating education, prevention, treatment, and recovery for those with opioid use disorder. #nurs638policy @Nurs621

[Jacquelyn Melton @VCUSON2023]

@timkaine Expansion has assisted countless Americans, however several rural areas which do not have access to well-resourced health facilities. This could drive the cost of care where accessible. Can this be considered "affordable for all"? #Nurs638policy
