Abstract

After an intensive and collaborative two-year effort, the Michigan Health and Safety Coalition (MH&SC) has publicly released hospital-specific information for seven serious medical conditions and for care provided in intensive care units. Hospitals' willingness to share this information and to commit to participation in ongoing collaborative improvement activities serves as a catalyst to achieving a mutual goal--statewide, systemic improvement in the safety and quality of health care.

The road less traveled: nursing advocacy at the policy level.

A frequent observation made about nursing advocacy at the policy level is its absence-or at least its invisibility. Yet there is a persistent belief that nurses will participate in advocacy at the societal level in matters of health. Although gaps exist in our knowledge about how to advocate at the policy level, the authors suggest that a number of other factors contribute to the disconnect between what nurses are expected to do in terms of policy advocacy and what they actually do. There are two main purposes in this article: to review the epistemological foundations of advocacy in nursing, and to present a discussion of other factors that limit our participation in policy advocacy. The authors discuss challenges within the discipline, in the practice context, and at the interface of the worlds of policy and nursing practice. The article concludes with a discussion of possible strategies for moving forward.
