Relevance to Specialty Area

The Agency for

Healthcare Research

and Quality (AHRQ)

The AHRQ is a federal agency

that works to improve healthcare

quality and patient safety across

the United States. In addition to

assisting policymakers,

healthcare providers, and patients

in making educated medical

decisions, the agency also

generates the data, tools, and

information necessary to enhance

the overall effectiveness of the

healthcare system (Year, 2018).

Collaboration with other

agencies is made possible

through the body's metrics, data,

training, tools, and research

(HHS) (Year, 2018).

The agency is relevant to an APRN/DNP

graduate because the field of nursing is

primarily concerned with restoring,

maintaining, and promoting health. Nurses who

earn DNP degrees must stay ahead of the

unprecedented technological changes to uphold

the standards enshrined by the agency in

question, including ensuring that the nursing

staff is knowledgeable and that patients are

safeguarded (Year, 2016). The graduates are

also in the frontline of care delivery and must

possess the skills and knowledge needed to

offer quality and competent clinical care (Year,

2018). The agency also requires them to

manage care in an evolving complex healthcare

system effectively.

AHRQ provides meaningful tips for

selecting mental health apps for payers,

patients, and providers through various

briefs. The agency aims at ensuring that

payers, patients, and providers find the best

fit based on specific features (Year, 2018).

The briefs cover core areas such as mental

health app features, functions, and risk and

mitigation strategies. Functions cover

descriptive elements such as costs, while risk

and mitigation approaches cover the level of

integrity associated with the app (Year,

2018). It assesses patient care experiences in

patient care settings to develop a consumer

assessment of healthcare systems and

providers.

The Food and Drug

Administration (FDA)

The FDA is affiliated with the

Department of Health and

Human Services, and its primary

responsibility is to protect public

health by safeguarding the

security, efficiency, and safety of

medical devices and other

medical resources that can be

consumed by humans or animals

(Platt et al. 2022). It also ensures

the safety of the country's

cosmetics and food supply.

Additionally, it is responsible for

augmenting the healthcare

system by guaranteeing speedy

innovations that make medical

products cheap, safe, and

operational, in addition to

enabling the public to get reliable

knowledge they need to use

foods and medical products to

improve and maintain their

health (Platt et al. 2022).

Moreover, FDA regulates

tobacco distribution and

marketing to ensure minors do

not get the drugs and protect the

overall public health. It also

plays a central part in the

country's counterterrorism ability

by fostering the progress of

medical products and the overall

security of all food supplies

(Platt et al., 2022).

FDA is relevant to an APRN/DNP graduate,

given that it regulates each practitioner's

practice regarding patient safety and patient

advocacy. The patient education network

provided by FDA ensures that patient advocacy

is realized. It also requires nurses to provide

patients with the requisite communication and

education materials to help address patient

issues (Platt et al., 2022). The education

network describes APRN/DNP nurses' roles and

responsibilities. Patients can choose the most

relevant therapies with the help of nurses'

advocating support.

Many apps have been created to help people

manage their mental health in recent years.

The FDA promotes the development of these

apps to provide healthcare professionals and

consumers with health information (Platt et

al., 2022). It is also responsible for

overseeing the effectiveness and safety of

medical devices such as medical apps.

Additionally, it outlines comprehensive

factors to consider when selecting mental

health apps (Platt et al., 2022).

The Centers for

Medicare & Medicaid

Services (CMS)

CMS is a federal agency

affiliated with various state

governments to oversee the

Children's Health Insurance

Program and Medicaid and

manage the Medicare program.

CMS works to mitigate abuse

and fraud within the healthcare

system by collecting and

analyzing data and producing

informative or insightful research

reports (Brooks-LaSure et al.,

2021). Moreover, it oversees the

quality administration standards

of the Health Insurance

Portability and Accountability

Act (HIPAA). These standards

The relevance of CMS to an APRN/DNP

graduate revolves around the nurse's role as an

advocate. The nurse is an advocate by offering

clients the knowledge and information to access

essential services (Brooks-LaSure et al., 2021).

Patients may decide whether to change therapy

options because the agency deals with health

insurance. The agency also helps nurses

coordinate with the healthcare facility,

improving patient outcomes (Brooks-LaSure et

al., 2021). The enhanced coordination also

allows nurses to reduce testing and

hospitalization costs and provide high-quality

care.

The CMS is relevant to mental health

because it provides various behavioral health

strategies that seek to remedy barriers to

mental health services. Also, it promotes

persona-centered mental health care,

including mental and emotional well-being

(Brooks-LaSure et al., 2021). Proposed

policies by the agency also allow for salient

strides toward managing mental health

challenges in the country.
