Our Problem: Arkansas 2014
In order to better understand policy generation, you need to KNOW your problem.

Arkansas Life Expectancy Rates
As you can see, the color-coded counties are significant in healthcare outcomes as depicted by differences in life expectancies rates.
![Page 6: Using the DNP Essentials to Generate Policy and Influence Health Outcomesdnpconferenceaudio.s3.amazonaws.com/2015/1Podium2015/... · 2015-09-14 · Learner Outcomes: • Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042020/5e778d699806963b8e5c6c02/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Essential 1 – Scientific Underpinning
• Is there a healthcare outcome that needs improvement? • Are there measures that are
available that can improve the identified outcome? • Is the proposed change
supported by evidence-based literature?
• Drafting of Interim Study Proposal through the collection of the most up-to-date research.
• Lack of access to healthcare services in Red Counties.
• APRNs have the potential to increase access in rural counties in Arkansas.

translate that knowledge quickly and effectively to benefit patients in the daily demands of practice
environments” (AACN, 2006, p.9)
![Page 9: Using the DNP Essentials to Generate Policy and Influence Health Outcomesdnpconferenceaudio.s3.amazonaws.com/2015/1Podium2015/... · 2015-09-14 · Learner Outcomes: • Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042020/5e778d699806963b8e5c6c02/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Essential 3 – Clinical Scholarship/Analytical Methods
• From the existing data (ISP), which outcome has the most potential to improve practice?
• Which potential change benefits practice outcomes, systems, communities and patients?
• Does a practice guideline need change?
• What is the best method to disseminate the findings?
• Schedule II Prescriptive Authority • Full Practice Authority
• Full Practice in medically underserved counties
• Reimbursement Parity • Discussion with interested leaders
to begin bill drafting
![Page 15: Using the DNP Essentials to Generate Policy and Influence Health Outcomesdnpconferenceaudio.s3.amazonaws.com/2015/1Podium2015/... · 2015-09-14 · Learner Outcomes: • Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042020/5e778d699806963b8e5c6c02/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Parity in reimbursement (29/50 states)
• Full Practice Authority (22/50 states)
• Prescribing Authority Schedule II-V (43/50 states)
• Arkansas does not fit into any of the above categories!
![Page 16: Using the DNP Essentials to Generate Policy and Influence Health Outcomesdnpconferenceaudio.s3.amazonaws.com/2015/1Podium2015/... · 2015-09-14 · Learner Outcomes: • Identify](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022042020/5e778d699806963b8e5c6c02/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
ISP 199 – HB 1160/HB 1165
• HB 1160 requested prescribing privileges from Schedule II – V. • HB 1165 requested 10/75 most distressed medically underserved
counties have waivered collaborative practice agreements. • Only one bill could arise from the ISP 199. • HB 1160 drafted to include both prescribing privileges and
waivered collaborative practice agreements. • Support and opposition from various organizations.
