Easton constructed a systems theory model of politics that defines the basic processes of any political system. The model views the political system as converting "inputs" from the environment, like demands and support from citizens, into "outputs" like policies, plans and programs. There is also "feedback" as citizens react to outputs. The environment outside the political system also influences inputs, decision-making, outputs and feedback. However, critics argue the model presents an overly mechanical and rigid view of politics that better describes stable democracies and has a "black box" view of how decisions are made inside the political system.
The document outlines the key stages of the policy making process: 1) Issue identification where problems are publicized and gain government attention 2) Agenda setting where the government begins serious consideration of issues 3) Policy formulation where various alternatives are developed and considered 4) Policy adoption where policies are legitimized through official government statements and actions 5) Policy implementation which involves all activities that result from officially adopting a policy.

NHS Improving Quality was invited to take part in a recently held event that celebrated the work that is being done in partnership between the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and AQuA to deliver a Quality Improvement Methodologies Programme (QuIMP). Gillian Phazey, Learning and Organisational Development Manager at Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust explains: 'The Learning and Organisational Development and Governance teams at the Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust have been working collaboratively with AQuA to deliver a Quality Improvement Methodologies Programme (QuIMP) to support staff in developing knowledge and skills in this topic. The programme has been specifically designed to support colleagues wanting to gain an introduction to the fundamentals and concepts of quality improvement. So far, two cohorts of staff, from clinical and non-clinical areas of the Trust have completed the programme, and have completed quality improvement projects in their own work area to apply their knowledge. On 17th July a celebration event was held for cohort 2 where staff presented their work in poster or presentation form, the aim of which is to share and spread learning across the Trust. Projects were wide ranging, from introducing new processes to reduce complaints and drug errors, to improving patient experience by implementing new tools and techniques. The day was a great success with the Chief Executive and Chief Nurse in attendance. The Trust is highly supportive of this approach in equipping staff with these important techniques, and the programme supports not only our internal quality agenda and objectives, but more widely responds to the recommendations of the Berwick report. The next cohort is starting in September this year.' Fiona Thow, Patient Safety Collaborative Delivery Lead at NHS Improving Quality delivered a keynote speech, (link to presentation slides) providing a national perspective on the plans for improving patient safety and took the opportunity to introduce the national safety collaboratives. She also highlighted the need for organisations and individuals to think differently about safety for both patients and staff.

This document discusses bridging the gap between research and practice in health programs and policies. It notes there is often a divide between researchers and decision-makers due to differing perspectives and priorities. The document advocates placing research within the policy and program continuum to better align research with decision-making needs. This involves considering how research outcomes could inform advocacy, policy formulation, program design, monitoring or evaluation. It also stresses involving stakeholders throughout the research process to promote evidence-based decision-making.
The document summarizes a workshop on building skills to advocate for change using health data. The workshop covered developing advocacy strategies, identifying target audiences, crafting messages, selecting communication channels, and assessing the impact of advocacy efforts. Attendees participated in activities to develop an advocacy strategy and elevator speech for a health issue. The goal was to help participants learn how to use data to directly and indirectly influence decision makers and support policies.
1) The document discusses agenda setting in the policy process and how clinical practice issues can be moved onto organizational agendas. 2) It provides required readings on stakeholder engagement, policy briefs, nursing advocacy, and research usefulness for policymaking. 3) Readers are asked to identify a clinical practice issue for their organization's agenda, stakeholders interested in the issue, and strategies to inform and persuade stakeholders of the issue's importance.
The document discusses assessing the impact of health research and innovation from a systems perspective. It presents a Canadian framework that identifies five categories of research impact: advancing knowledge, capacity building, informing decision making, health benefits, and broad economic and social benefits. The framework includes a library of 66 impact indicators that can be measured at different levels. It also discusses promising tools for addressing needs across the system, including a common approach, language, and metrics to optimize measuring research impact in Canada. Building greater capacity for impact assessment using a collaborative approach is advocated.
This summary provides an overview of 3 implementation research studies on integrated community case management (iCCM) conducted by the University Research Co., LLC. The first study analyzed iCCM policies in 6 countries to understand how policy context, actors, and processes influence iCCM implementation. It found that policies often did not explicitly mention iCCM and were developed with technical staff but lacked engagement from key stakeholders. External funding was critical for policy development. The second study developed an iCCM costing and financing tool to help countries estimate costs and plan long-term financing. It was tested in Malawi and Senegal. The third study examined an iCCM monitoring improvement project in an unnamed country. Overall, the studies provide insights into real-

Une grande incertitude découle de l’apparition de nouvelles maladies infectieuses comme la COVID-19, ce qui pose des défis uniques en matière de communication, différents d’autres initiatives de communication en santé. Une communication de crise efficace est essentielle à la promotion des comportements de prévention recommandés (comme la distanciation physique, l’hygiène des mains, le port du masque et la vaccination) et au maintien de la confiance durant la crise. Cette séance présentera un survol des meilleures pratiques en matière de communication de crise en santé publique dans les médias sociaux et abordera leur application concrète durant la COVID-19. D’abord, les meilleures pratiques en ce qui a trait à une communication de crise efficace pour démontrer que l’on est digne de confiance seront présentées. Le guide de communication de crise dans les médias sociaux, largement diffusé et téléchargé, offre des conseils pratiques en matière de santé publique. Par la suite, la communication de crise de Santé publique Ottawa dans les médias sociaux durant la COVID-19 sera examinée pour mettre en évidence les leçons tirées et les principales stratégies utilisées par l’équipe. Le compte Twitter de Santé publique Ottawa est le compte d’une autorité locale de santé publique le plus suivi en Amérique du Nord, et l’excellence de son travail dans les médias sociaux tout au long de la pandémie de COVID-19 a été soulignée par des organisations comme l’Agence de la santé publique du Canada, l’Organisation mondiale de la Santé, la Fondation Rockefeller et plusieurs autres.
