1. Identifying the Need for Change: This involves recognizing issues or gaps in current policies. 2. Research and Data Collection: Gathering evidence to support the need for change. 3. Stakeholder Engagement: Involving all relevant parties in discussions and decision-making. 4. Drafting and Proposing Policy: Developing a detailed proposal for the new policy. 5. Advocacy and Lobbying: Working to gain support from policymakers and the public. 6. Implementation: Putting the new policy into practice within healthcare settings. 7. Evaluation: Assessing the impact of the policy change and making necessary adjustments.
