Expanding nursing's role in responding to global pandemics 5/14/2018 2018-06-28 .txt text/plain 2199 101 40 authors: Corless, Inge B.; Nardi, Deena; Milstead, Jeri A.; Larson, Elaine; Nokes, Kathleen M.; Orsega, Susan; Kurth, Ann E.; Kirksey, Kenn M.; Woith, Wendy The aim of this Academy policy is to fill this gap by identifying the essential role of nurses and community health workers during the time just prior to the confirmation of a potential epidemic and focuses on the early identification of infectious pathogens and prevention of further transmission. In addition to preparing frontline community workers to promptly identify potential emerging or re-emerging infection, appropriate national nursing councils and public health entities could be charged with the responsibility of developing and sharing early reporting networks. The policy recommendations provided below will strengthen national health security through the enhanced recognition and expansion of the individuals who are initial points of contact in the community as well as the role of nurses and nursing organizations in responding to and preventing potential global pandemics. ./cache/cord-007532-1fpx9pxs.txt ./txt/cord-007532-1fpx9pxs.txt
