The administration supported the goals of the agenda through bilateral partnership which focuses on investments and efforts to unify the nation’s approach by evaluating health security capacity and mobilization of resources.

Part 2: Agenda Comparison Grid Analysis

 

Using the information you recorded in Part 1: Agenda Comparison Grid, complete the following to document information about the population health/healthcare issue your selected

 

Administration (President Name)	President Trump	President Obama	President Bush
Which administrative agency would most likely be responsible for helping you address the healthcare issue you selected?	Coordinating Center for Infectious Diseases Agency(CCID)	Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality(AHRQ)	Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Agency (CDC)
How do you think your selected healthcare issue might get on the agenda for the current and two previous presidents? How does it stay there?	The healthcare security issue is vital in protecting domestic and international population, which can be enhanced through leadership, partnership and epidemiological strategies created by the president. In order to achieve the goal of providing security, the president ensures that the quality systems, standards and practices are maximized to improve health.	President Obama’s initiative on quality healthcare focuses on fostering safe and healthcare environment through providing research for prevention in order to achieve quality health outcomes. For this reason, the president had to get into the agenda on health care security so as to outbreak in healthcare set up, develop infection control measures and provide efficacy of current interventions for the safety of the patient (Carey & Crammond, 2015).	Improving health by controlling and preventing diseases was one of the objectives of president Bush. Therefor he had to be involved in the agenda in the effort to accomplish his missions through working with partners in the world in monitoring health by detecting and investigating health problems and promoting healthy behaviors.
Who would you choose to be the entrepreneur/ champion/sponsor of the healthcare issue you selected for the current and two previous presidents?	I would choose president Trump to be an entrepreneur. This is because his policies on health focused on strategic expansion and initiatives in order to reduce the cost of health down and reduce the prices of prescription drugs. He focuses more on promoting price transparency in forcing competition to reduce down the global cost of health.	Obama is considered a champion because his administration developed strategies, which aimed at helping global nations to develop capacities in detecting and responding to health threats. He supported various goals concerning global health security through engagement with public health expertise in threat reduction and implementing.	President bush is regarded as sponsor. His administration was responsible in providing healthcare services to the poor and elderly and focused on confronting the rising global cost of healthcare. His administration focused helping people to obtain insurance cover and ensuring high quality and reliable healthcare for the global population.

 

 

Narrative with the Facts

It is time for the legislatures to be alert on the reducing commitment of USA on the global health security. Improving global healthcare by offering an affordable, transparent and efficient health is vital to the global population. Lack of essential prevention and detection systems to be used in preventing and response enhances the outbreak of the infectious diseases (Farrer et al 2015). Arguably, a serious connection should be set by the legislature, advocating for the connection between policy and budget priorities, coordination and leadership on health security. This will ensure that there’s adequate financing of health security operations and preparedness, which enhances effective response to the outbreak. The untimely outbreak of a disease could be costly and drug resistant leading to loss of more lives. Therefore I appeal to the legislative for of the government to ensure that the global health security policies are strong and secure because disease threat anywhere is a threat everywhere.

As the nurse, one is required to advocate for advancement in public health and equity in health by targeting social determinants more so on the on the behalf of the disadvantaged and the poor (Carey & Crammond, 2015). The advocacy can be achieved by considering evidence based policies that links improvement of social and health conditions. Nurses should also engage in multi-sectorial partnership and adopting security health policies in addressing concern on health needs.

Conclusion

Developments on health security policy are vital in improving preparedness in terms of making resources available for future outbreak response. Therefor USA should collaborate with other nations and initiatives to establish research health security agenda with an aim of elucidating the perspective of the community on actions which focuses health needs. Nursing organizations should also be brought on board in implementation of the agenda where they can help in shaping the health security policy.
