I can relate with you in the hesitancy. However since there is always a beginning and the exposure was not life threatening, I was able to overcome my fear and move on.

A6. Social media is a double-edged sword. Trust but verify social media communication. No longer gullible. Enact & enforce legislation to punish for indiscriminate use of social media to disinform. Smaailhodzic et al (2016). My country does so for WhatsApp.

A5. Facebook, WhatsApp, twitter and LinkedIn to market and advertise, inform the public, attract customers, communicate with employees, provide therapy. Wilson & Wiysonge (2020) report disinformation in social media increased COVID vaccine hesitancy in England.

At my work, use of Telehealth has eliminated the travel times by providers in assessing and examining patients remotely during off hours.

HIPAA laws are of especial importance in mental health. The use of social media is severely limited in mental health care.

A2. Telehealth and pagers to communicate with providers about patients. When patients are restrained or secluded off hours, telehealth for provider-patient assessment in real time. At school, YouTube to reinforce and encourage students to use WhatsApp.

A1. The hospital where I work uses the internet, website, and twitter to communicate with and market services and opportunities that are provided, the cadre of professionals and quality of care awards that it has earned over the years. Smaailhodzic et al (2016

Great point. We need to make ourselves more visible in the policy making arena.

A6Quality, access, costs, and inequities in healthcare. The US lags behind many industrialized nations in these areas. This is unconscionable. Nurses can leverage their enormous power to improve healthcare at all levels by actively engaging in policy making.

A5The Families First Act and Coronavirus Aid, Relief & Economic Security Act impact my practice. Through these acts, we have decreased the incidence of COVID on the psychiatric wards through single room occupancy, paid staff, and provided telehealth services

Indeed! I have had the opportunity to collaborate with leadership at my place of work to change outdated policies. Our role in influencing policy and care at the bedside cannot be overstated.

That was a great opportunity that we had to make our voices heard.

@jjunn715 @kmciltr1 Yes, the documentary 'The Healthcare Divide' reminds one of Andrew Hacker's instructive book, 'Two Nations', that examines two Americas. Based mainly on race but is relevant to health policy.

@kmciltr1 I have kept myself informed and educated those around me about important health policy topics. The documentary "The Healthcare Divide" has been extremely informative on the impact of COVID-19 on health equity. #HealthPolicy21 #JHUSON
