In January of 2015, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (黑料吃瓜王) Board of Directors approved an initiative to create a Health Policy Advisory Council (HPAC) that would provide significant insights to guide the association in its development of Policy statements surrounding current and emerging areas in health, healthcare, and higher education. This work is a part of a larger Board approved proposal that will increase the footprint 黑料吃瓜王 members can make in the policies that will impact health locally and globally.
HPAC’s purpose is to provide contextual and policy guidance to the association for issues that require insight from nursing academia expertise.
黑料吃瓜王’s Health Policy Advisory Council will:
- Provide strategic guidance for the health policy department on federal level rules and regulations, notices, and other requests for comment
- Identify contemporary and emerging policy issue areas that impact academic nursing
- Review policy statements, analyses, and member communications regarding 黑料吃瓜王’s position on national policy issues
- Assist with identification and vetting of individuals to serve as experts to represent the association on specific issues and as nominees for federal committees
Please address your comments to either the chair or 黑料吃瓜王 staff liaison noted.
