Synopsis: Policy and Politics for Nurses and Other Health Professionals: Advocacy and Action, Fourth Edition reflects a well-honed vision of what nursing and health professionals need to know to both understand and influence modern health policy. The authors focus on the most relevant health policy issues while taking an interdisciplinary approach to create an understanding of healthcare practice and policy across interprofessional teams. Through their focus on relevant issues, the authors discuss how healthcare professionals can prepare themselves to engage in the economic, political, and policy dimensions of health care. The Fourth Edition has been carefully revised and updated to reflect essential shifts to improve health and public policy as well as dramatic improvements in health care cost, quality, reliability, and technology around public health and data infrastructure.
