Nurses are the front-line caregivers in our health system, [which] gives them a
unique and invaluable perspective on patient care," Dr. Hassmiller said. "They see
firsthand the gaps in the healthcare system and the consequences of those gaps.
They see where improvements are needed to increase access, promote prevention,
coordinate care, and improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare."
It is important for nursing leaders to remember that political decisions and social
policy initiatives have an impact on nursing practice. Nursing leaders need to
attain a place at the table where policy decisions are made to have a say in the
policies that govern nursing.
Nursing leaders who understand policy development are well equipped to influence
decision-making about professional practice issues in their workplaces and to contribute to the
development of health and nursing policy. Leaders in healthcare policy should learn how
policy is developed and seek out areas of policy they want to influence. Their influence in
healthcare policies protects patient safety, increases the quality of care, facilitates their access
to required resources, and promotes quality health care.
Nurse leaders involved in the policy process need to develop creative approaches to
connect the concept of practice to policy (Mund, 2012). Creative approaches may include
utilizing several different avenues to get involved. Membership and involvement in professional
organizations and coalitions is an excellent source of involvement. Membership in these
organizations provides nurses and nurse leaders with a voice when healthcare issues are being
discussed and changes are proposed at all levels in healthcare policy. Nurses also should serve
actively on advisory committees, commissions, and boards where policy decisions are made to
advance health systems to improve patient care. Nursing leaders must build new partnerships
