REQUIREMENTS:

Description of the Identified Healthcare Concern

You are the Vice-President of Nursing Services at a 500 bed
facility that provides healthcare to a 6 county region that occurs in two
different but adjoining states Recently
you attended a national conference regarding infectious diseases and the
potential for their spread with our current global environment Upon return from the conference, you have a
conversation with a local public health official who identifies that there is
no regional plan to combat an infectious disease outbreak In addition, the official noted the presence
of several barriers which will make the development of a plan more of a
challenge These include, but are not
limited to:

Identification of a plan that would cover a large region and
a diverse population of approximately one million people

Identification of a plan that could be coordinated from one
facility, but interact successfully with 6 different counties and two different
state governments

The presence of a regional airport which increases the
opportunity for introducing an infectious disease to the region

From the conversation, you realize that a coalition will be
needed and that macro leadership skills are required for the coalition to be
successful You now accept the challenge
to build a coalition within the region to develop a plan that would resist a
sudden outbreak of an infectious illness
