Emergency Preparedness

This project aims to identify and bolster the public health preparedness of community health centers, including Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), nurse-managed health centers, and retail-based health care centers.

We assess the landscape of training resources currently available to these centers and clinics, identify preparedness best practices, build useful tools, and provide training and technical assistance. Our educational efforts include presenting webinars and designing publications with the goal of better enabling health clinics and centers to be able to respond to a pandemic or other public health emergency.

The National Nurse-Led Care Consortium has partnered with the Public Health Management Corporation’s Research and Evaluation Group and the Convenient Care Association for the public health preparedness project. This project is funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Network of Public Health Institutes.

TCPI Power Packs

TCPI Power Packs

As the only professional nursing organization involved in the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) we were part of a collective of 10 professional associations charged to assist over 140,000 clinicians in improving how care is delivered by providing technical assistance support for integrating quality and process improvements, and by building on and spreading existing change methodologies, practice transformation tools, published literature, and technical assistance programs.

In collaboration with other SANs we developed a number of Power Packs to spread the transformational work undertaken by clinicians and practices nationally.

Each Power Pack presents a specific service delivery challenge and the steps taken by the spotlighted practice to address the challenge. Power Packs provide a set of change tactics and resources from the SANs and other professional associations that clinicians can use to address a similar challenge within their own practices.
