Policy Brief

      collect the information necessary to create a succinct policy brief as a deliverable for Week 6. Consider your audience as you write this brief. Would you be presenting this brief to a legislator to change policy at a local, state or national level? Or would you be presenting this brief or an organizational administrator to change policy within your organization? To analyze an issue is to understand the problem and context of the problem. Nurses engage in policy analysis through the creation of policy briefs, which promote awareness of the problem, and provide context of the problem, resolution options and their pros and cons, and a recommended solution. Nurses use policy briefs to communicate issues and solutions to government policy analysts. Search the Internet for the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses Health Policy Tool Kit.
