For advanced practice nurses and students, this guide addresses health policy and politics, covering the entire policy-making process, including agenda setting, government response, and program design, implementation, and evaluation, with a focus on the federal and state levels. Milstead (nursing, U. of Toledo) brings together 11 chapters based on research by professors of nursing, health care informatics, and rural health from the US, who have experience in policy making and political action. The updated edition, which has new authors, contains two new chapters on advancing policy agendas and applied healthcare economics for the non-economics major. Other updates include a new approach to agenda setting through case scenarios, case studies on implementation, and a new section on current health issues.
