Challenges of APRN’s
The bill on giving perceptive authority was presented by Senator Jane Nelson who is chair of senate health. The bill focused on giving autonomy to the APRN’s so that they could work for meeting the patient demands. The advocates of the bill emphasized on eliminating the restrictions for APRN’s. This bill gives them the right to work with full autonomy and considered them equal to physicians. In practice sites they are allowed to serve underserved population. According to this bill there are no limitations of APRN’s. Advocates of the bill are inclined to give the right of practicing independently to the nurses CITATION Kor18 \l 1033 (Korbecka, 2018).
Lack of autonomy for APRN’s impact patients in rural areas where doctors are not adequate in numbers for meeting the needs of patients. In rural areas nurses can play better role by addressing a larger population. APRN plays significant role when patient turnover is high and hospitals are lacking capacity and staff for managing them. Compared to physicians and doctors, nurses take low salaries which means in rural areas they can help in building an effective healthcare model. Face-to-face meetings between physicians and nurses will improve the outcome for patients health.
As a healthcare professional I could utilize various resources for guiding change in the policies in my state. Healthcare databases can be used for determining the total number of patients who visited the hospital, those who received treatment and those who recovered. This is an effective way of determining the gap in the healthcare services and the patients who lose their lives due to lack of doctors. Journals and data on patients losing their lives can be used for guiding policy changes by emphasizing on weaknesses CITATION Jud181 \l 1033 (Ortiz, Hofler, & Bitney, 2018). Reduction in patient wait time and improvements in service are common benefits.
Different stakeholders and collaborative partners are crucial for guiding policy change. The stakeholders include doctors, hospital owners, patients, nurses and donors. By involving these stakeholders it is possible to implement changes. Changes cannot be implemented without taking stakeholders and collaborative partners into trust.
