The United States needs a national health care and public health workforce with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to respond to any disaster or public health emergency in a timely and appropriate manner. This requires that all of our nation's nurses and health care providers have unrestrained access to high-quality, evidence-based, competency-driven education and training programs. Programs of study for disaster readiness in both the academic and service sectors are limited in number. Those that do exist may be based upon consensus rather than competency and be price prohibitive. They may fail to fully capitalize on existing educational technologies and may not be accessible to all providers. Nurse leaders are ideally positioned to recognize, advocate, and support the need for a broad array of learning options to strengthen the readiness of the health care workforce for disaster response. This article reviews current challenges and opportunities for the expansion of evidence-based education and training opportunities for health care workforce disaster readiness.
美国需要一支具备知识、技能和能力的国家医疗保健及公共卫生工作队伍，以便及时、适当地应对任何灾难或突发公共卫生事件。这就要求我国所有护士和医疗保健提供者都能不受限制地获得高质量、循证、以能力为导向的教育和培训项目。学术和服务领域中针对灾难准备的学习项目数量有限。现有的那些项目可能基于共识而非能力，且价格高昂。它们可能无法充分利用现有的教育技术，并非所有提供者都能获得。护士领导者处于理想位置，能够认识到、倡导并支持需要广泛的学习选择，以增强医疗保健工作队伍应对灾难的准备能力。本文回顾了当前在扩大循证教育和培训机会以提升医疗保健工作队伍灾难准备能力方面所面临的挑战和机遇。
