Academic/Practice Partnership to Impact Population Health in Chronic Disease and Emergency Response
This program was established as a collaboration between nine stakeholder organizations and built upon an existing initiative to advance national nurse readiness for disasters and large-scale public health emergencies that began over a year ago (Veenema, et. al, 2016). Drawing upon existing relationships and expertise and in consultation with CDC, the collaboration with partners will provide training environments that promote a population health approach to disaster preparedness and response. Ultimately, this project will directly impact the capacity of the primary care and public health workforce to improve population health outcomes in individuals impacted by disaster events.
As part of this process, we are making collaboration areas available to all of those who are interested in helping to develop additional modules and are committed to making them open access and fully adaptable and free to all users. The links below are to three of the discussion boards each with a unique purpose.
