    Running head: ESSENTIAL V 1

    E-Portfolio Essential V: Healthcare Policy, Finance, and Regulatory Environments

    E-Portfolio Essential V: Healthcare Policy, Finance, and Regulatory Environments

    The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) created the Essentials of

    Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice (2008), a document providing nine

    Essentials, a curricular framework that outlines the expected outcomes of graduates of baccalaureate

    nursing programs. (AACN, 2008, p. 3) The Essentials includes necessary requirements and

    recommendations for the core knowledge required of all healthcare professionals (AACN, 2008, p.

    3).This passage will focus on Essential V: Healthcare Policy, Finance, and Regulatory Environments

    Upon meeting Essential V, the baccalaureate graduate nurse will demonstrate understanding of

    healthcare policies including financial and regulatory influence of the healthcare system as important

    considerations in professional nursing practice (AACN, 2008, p. 3). For this paper, I will discuss how

    my Congressional Letter (Nguyen, 2017) meets the Essential V: Healthcare Policy, Finance, and

    Regulatory Environments.

    Exemplar

    The piece of work I selected to demonstrate understanding of Essential V: Healthcare Policy, Finance,

    and Regulatory Environments is my Congressional Letter (Nguyen, 2017). This letter reached out to

    Congressional Cummings in an attempt to promote awareness of the healthcare crisis in Baltimore, Md.

    With my letter, I was able to demonstrate understanding of healthcare policies, patient care service

    organization, finance, and its reimbursement means. I was also able to demonstrate understanding at the

    baccalaureate level how healthcare policy is developed and my influence as a nursing student may

    allow for potential change. My letter incorporates many aspects from healthcare policies and its

    relevance with nursing. I informed a congressional leader about the HIV epidemic and reported

    statistical support about the issue addressed. I raised my concern to Congressman Cummings by

    informing him residents of Baltimore need increased access to care to allow for better health outcomes

    for people living with HIV, and there needs to be a reduction in HIV-related disparities and health

    inequities. My suggestion to this issue we can print an article in the community paper educating the

    public prevention strategies to reduce the risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV; The article will

    highlight HIV-related statistics, our concerns, reachable goals within a given amount of time, and the

    outlook for Baltimore if health treatments and education improves.

    Reflection

    This example relates to Essential V: Healthcare Policy, Finance, and Regulatory Environments because

    the assignment illustrated I have understanding of healthcare policies and its influence on the health of

    communities, I used evidence-based research and attainable nursing interventions to meet Essential V

    (AACN, Pg. 20, 2008). By addressing health related needs I will increase my understanding of

    legislative and regulatory processes relevant to the provision of health and its impact of sociocultural,

    economic, legal, and political factors influencing healthcare delivery and practice (AACN, Pg. 21,

    2008). This project displays my ability to analyze a population and determine healthcare concerns,

    suggest attainable nursing recommendations and develop an intervention plan.
