The COVID-19 pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization on 11 March 2020. The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 required an equally rapid response from health-care organizations to find innovative ways to utilize the existing workforce to care for people with COVID-19. Using an evaluative case study, a unique insight into the collaborative allied health and nursing professions' response to COVID-19 at a specialist cardiothoracic hospital in the United Kingdom is presented. The aim of the case study was to evaluate how an interprofessional workforce from the wider organization could be supported to work in critical care as part of a crisis response. In identifying the key enablers to setting up an interprofessional Essential Care Team and learning from the lived experiences of those involved, his case study has demonstrated that, in supported, interprofessional teams the wider organizational workforce can be facilitated to effectively and safely provide critical care services. The lessons learned from this study will support future pandemic responses and aid the identification of further opportunities for interprofessional learning and practice. Ultimately, the study highlights that by identifying and investing in the key enablers, health-care organizations can be better prepared to respond to a global crisis.
世界卫生组织于 2020 年 3 月 11 日宣布 COVID-19 大流行。SARS-CoV-2 的迅速传播要求医疗保健组织迅速做出反应，寻找创新的方法来利用现有劳动力照顾 COVID-19 患者。本案例研究采用评估案例研究的方法，展示了英国一家专业心胸医院的联合医疗和护理专业如何对 COVID-19 做出反应。该案例研究的目的是评估如何支持来自更广泛组织的多专业劳动力作为危机应对的一部分在重症监护室工作。在确定建立跨专业基本护理团队的关键促成因素并从相关人员的实际经验中学习的过程中，本案例研究表明，在得到支持的跨专业团队中，更广泛的组织劳动力可以更有效地和安全地提供重症护理服务。本研究得出的经验教训将支持未来的大流行应对工作，并有助于确定进一步的跨专业学习和实践机会。最终，该研究强调，通过确定和投资关键促成因素，医疗保健组织可以更好地为应对全球危机做好准备。
