Institutional Policy as Influenced by National Policy
The professional nursing accountability act is an institutional policy that defines, highlights, and facilitates the use of financial resources in healthcare provision. The policy defines optimal balance in the essence of order, priority, group interest, and diversity. In a real sense, these aspects determine the success of this policy and its practicality in the formulation (Keepnews, 2016; Cramer & Hoebelheinrich, 2016).
Before the creation of this policy, the challenges identified included lack of confidence due to limited consultation, little common interests, and implementation hurdles. In the process of making this policy, the five stages observed were discovery, education, measurement, persuasion, and legitimization. Since a lot of time was allocated to legitimization, the policy has been successful in addressing the above challenge (Cramer & Hoebelheinrich, 2016).
The professional nursing accountability act was influenced by the hospital funding act, which is a national policy aimed at expanding health coverage across the US. Through reviewing past data on the level of involvement in policy formulation in hospital funding, the professional nursing accountability act draws a concrete conclusion that citizen engagement promotes behavior and attitude change among the target policy beneficiaries (Carthon et al., 2016).
It is apparent that the process of national government involvement facilitated direct action and complete engagement of target group who are projected to benefit from the formulated policy on hospital funding. In order to address the challenge of logistics involved in creating a warm environment for balancing community participation in policy formulation and the complexities that come along with the same, the professional nursing accountability act borrowed heavily from the hospital funding bill, especially in terms of modeling implementation (Cramer & Hoebelheinrich, 2016). Same as the present case, the different forms of relationship between these two entities are characterized by unique advantages and disadvantages, depending on the scope of operation and interests in hospital funding and accountability (Carthon et al., 2016).
The passive inclusion was appropriate in national agencies that have a stronger sense for an executive order. It is apparent that structural orientation plays a major role in inclusion and exclusion in the process of addressing imperatives and aspirations that accompany confidence (Cramer & Hoebelheinrich, 2016). Thus, in defining the professional nursing accountability act, several working models of the hospital funding policy were incorporated.
The essence of proactive incorporation of the hospital funding policy elements was to facilitate the design for analyzing reactionary, innovative, hegemonic, and culturally oriented facets that influence the synthesis of innovative ideas on the ideal environment for nursing accountability (Keepnews, 2016). The professional nursing accountability act is meticulous in explaining the essence of social experience as a determinant factor in the transformation that has to involve professionalism in managing funds that have been facilitated by the hospital funding act (Cramer & Hoebelheinrich, 2016).
This means that the professional nursing accountability act has borrowed heavily from the hospital funding policy’s network building, symbol assimilation, identity fashioning, and coalition forming as means for fostering inclusive and straightforward coherent results (Hahn, 2016). Thus, assimilation of network building among the stakeholders from the hospital funding policy has made the professional nursing accountability act receive fair approval among the target group at minimal tension (Cramer & Hoebelheinrich, 2016).
In contemporary society, irrespective of the form, formal or informal, the basis of operation remains the same, that is, the personal dimension must recognize the need for knowledge application with respect to culture (Cramer & Hoebelheinrich, 2016). Thus, the professional nursing accountability act has to function actively in the resultant balance between accountability and professionalism to guarantee the transformation of the hospital funding policy into practice.
This places the professional accountability act on the same path and the hospital funding policy to facilitate proactive and optimal use of limited resources to provide healthcare services (Salami, Dada, & Adelakun, 2016). Being an institutional policy, the professional accountability act is influenced by the financial management aspects of the hospital funding bill to facilitate its implementation without any hitch.
In conclusion, policy analysis points should be aimed at maintaining and stimulating conversation among lay advocates, scientists, and politicians who often share antagonistic views on healthcare accountability issues. The professional nursing accountability act was created to facilitate the functioning of the hospital funding act since it prepares healthcare professionals to be accountable in financial management.
