2019 Florida Nurses Association Special Interest Groups (SIGS) HEALTH POLICY SPECIAL INTEREST GROUP (HP-SIG) 2019 ANNUAL REPORT HP-SIG MISSION STATEMENT: The Health Policy Special Interest Group (HP-SIG) is FNA’s leader of grassroots initiatives for public policy change that enhances the heath and welt being of all Floridians. It encourages and supports all nurses to become engaged in the policy and legislative process to improve the health status of our communities and the practice and working environments of nurses. HP-SIG GOALS AND OBJECTIVES: 1. Developing and maintaining a network for communication through FNA Regions to educate and inform FNA members in public policy issues. 2. Developing and maintaining education and information resources regarding health policy and legislation among all stake holders. 3. Promoting and supporting health policy agendas that benefit all Florida RN’s, APRN’S regarding their scopes of practice, patient advocacy and quality outcomes and work environment safety. It has been an active and productive year for the HP-SIG there are currently 494 members. This year, we have had monthly videoconference/conference call throughout the year. We reviewed the goals and objectives of the SIG and reaffirmed our agreement to them. We chose some topical meetings but also utilized meeting to gather information from members about their health policy interests or issues that they would like FNA to pursue through various kinds of advocacy including legislative advocacy. Members were encouraged to write reference proposals to be submitted to the Reference Committee for consideration by the Membership Assembly. At least two proposals have been submitted for consideration. Many SIG members participated in Advocacy Days in March of 2019 in an effort to communicate our issues to the elected officials. Members expressed a desire for more educational opportunities and in response to that we held several Webinars covering various topics. Of specific interest was a webinar on End-of- Life Issue presented by Dr. Jean Davis of the Bioethics SIG. The discussion after that presentation led to the suggestion of a proposal on MOLST/POLST. Ethics Special Interest Group Jean Davis, PhD, DNP, EdD, FNP-BC, CNS-BC, HCRM The Ethics Special Interest Group (SIG) had a dynamic 2019. Many issues were brought up by FNA members and students alike. One issue particularly resonated on our Zoom meetings—the wording of proposed legislation in Florida for end-of-life orders, restricting them to being written only by physicians. This issue was referred to Ethics by the Health Policy SIG leading to a presentation for that group. A poster was developed for display at Membership Assembly in September to increase awareness and knowledge of this issue. It also came to light that many nurses are not as aware of our Code of Ethics for Nurses (2015) as expected, so plans are in the works for a webinar on this topic for FNA. Online Ethics SIG meetings take monthly, except over the winter holiday season and summertime. We also meet in person at the FNA Membership Assembly in September. Our focus is the application of ethics to practice situations. We invite all nurses to join us—student to expert, so all voices can be heard. 78
