In order to effectively manage co-occurring treatment services, it is important to be knowledgeable about addiction and mental illness. Describe three (3) essential knowledge areas and three (3) essential skill areas that are needed by staff and clinical supervisors for co-occurring treatment services. What professional credentials would be necessary for an employee and clinical supervisor who works in co-occurring treatment?

Overview

This assessment requires you to describe the legislative process and the role of the nurse as a healthcare policy advocate. Your paper will consist of two parts:

Part 1:

• A clear and complete discussion of the legislative process

Part 2:

• You will choose one of the political issues listed in Burkhardt & Nathaniel on pages 392-393
• Tie that political issue to current legislation being debated in your own state’s house or senate
• Describe both sides of that issue – for and against – clearly and thoroughly
• Explain your own position, and explain why using research-based fact, not just your own opinion.

Make sure you also include a clear, separate introduction and conclusion as a part of this assignment, as these are worth separate points on the grading rubric.

NOTE: Please avoid the following topics, as these do not demonstrate research into current legislation in health care and are more “hot button” issues that do not often result in a strong paper:

• • Abortion
  • Staffing ratios/mandatory overtime
  • Physician assisted suicide

Objectives

This assessment is aligned with the the course objective 4 and the following module objective:

• Students will be able to examine legislative and regulatory processes relevant to the provision of healthcare.
• Discuss the role of the nurse as a healthcare policy advocate.

Points: 40

References

Minimum of four (4) total references: two (2) references from required course materials and two (2) peer-reviewed references. All references must be no older than five years (unless making a specific point using a seminal piece of information)

Peer-reviewed references include references from professional data bases such as PubMed or CINHAL applicable to population and practice area, along with evidence based clinical practice guidelines. Examples of unacceptable references are Wikipedia, UpToDate, Epocrates, Medscape, WebMD, hospital organizations, insurance recommendations, & secondary clinical databases.

Style

As part of the professional materials you’ll create for this course, the one-page professional profile offers you an opportunity to frame a narrative about your professional identity and experiences. You will make decisions about how to frame your professional brand and identity–what makes you unique? what sets you apart from others? The SWOT Analysis assignment and “The Brand Called You” reading will help as you begin to answer those questions.

The one-page professional profile is not a retread of your resume; instead, it is an opportunity to bring your resume to life. You may infuse some personality into the document, but don’t overdo it. Consider the primary readers as potential employers and other professionals in your field.

In short, your professional profile must include the following elements:

1. An appropriate heading that includes your first and last names.

2. Three to four keywords below the heading that help to describe your professional identity.

3. A professional-looking headshot photograph appropriately sized and positioned.

4. Three sections: the first section introduces your professional identity and frames the document. The second paragraph helps show readers your experiences. And the final paragraph ties the document together and ends on a positive note.

5. Approximately 300-350 words.
