While Congress makes the laws, much of the critical federal-level advocacy that ANA carries out is geared towards those whose role it is to interpret, and enforce, legislation that may affect our profession and its members – the numerous agencies of the federal government. The day-to-day work of agencies such as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Centers of Disease Control (CDC), The Federal Drug Administration (FDA), and Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) have a huge impact on all who work in the health care system. It is vital that the voice of nursing is heard during their decision-making processes. Explain what kind of policy is this. Health Information Technology (HIT) has enabled the pursuit of better care coordination, allowing health care providers to quickly capture standardized data, use it to inform patient care, and communicate it to their colleagues across a range of clinical settings. But with such potential comes a greater level of responsibility for nurses who, thanks to their place on the frontline, are key stakeholders in the implementation of any new practices and procedures. This is why ANA has taken a particular interest HIT and its implications for nurses – both in terms of opportunities and additional workload. Do you think this policy is well for any Nursing practitioner?
