NURS-6050N-66/NURS-6050C-66-Policy & Advocacy

  (THIS is reply job to the another student to information I sending to to you_)

    As of July 1st, 2020, Nurse Practitioners in Florida, will be allowed to practice independently. Advanced nurse practitioners will need an additional 3000 hours of experience as they are being supervised by a physician, before they can be independent (USNews 2020). After a nurse practitioner is licensed to practice independently, they are given the authority to sign many documents. For example, signing death certificates, admitting and discharging patients via their signature, and sign affidavits, to name a few. (flanp.org, 2020).

They must work as a team with the physician, and collaborate when it comes to standard procedures (chcf.org, 2018).

6614: PICOT Assessment 1

Develop a PICOT question that defines a gap in practice and write a 2–3 page executive summary presenting the key elements that decision makers will need to make decisions.

Note: Complete the assessments in this course in the order in which they are presented.

It is important to define your ideas clearly and precisely to help develop and sustain stakeholder buy-in with any project being created to improve outcomes. Using a PICOT gives the reader a clear idea of your improvement project in one succinct sentence. Another important communication tool is written for the administrative stakeholders in the form of an executive summary. The executive summary provides a brief and precise narrative of what you want to expedite for your improvement project. Executive summaries are commonly associated with business plans, marketing plans, evaluation studies, and other materials that are created to guide decision making and action. As an actionable document, the executive summary is meant to set out the key elements that a decision maker will need in order to make decisions and, as important, to justify those decisions to those to whom the decision maker is responsible.
