A health policy brief (henceforth referred to as “Policy Brief”) is a clear, succinct, and focused document on a single health topic/issue/problem. Briefs are written for a variety of audiences, but are primarily written to educate policymakers. There are several web links in the Learning Materials for Module 4 related to writing briefs. However, please note that for this Summative Assessment, the “standard” format/style and content for the brief has been modified to meet course outcomes. The purpose of this Summative Assessment is to demonstrate proficiency in meeting Course Learning Outcomes through the completion of a Policy Brief and a formal presentation to peers and the instructor. It is recommended that students focus the Policy Brief on a topic/issue/problem that has been encountered during clinical experiences in the graduate program or one that the student anticipates may be encountered in practice. Ideas for Policy Briefs may come from any resources used in the text or the Modules. Ideas may be found at numerous advanced practice and other nursing professional organization websites. If in doubt about a topic/issue/problem, please ask for clarification.
