EXAMPLE
Location of Healthcare Facility: Philadelphia, PA
Taskforce Leader #1: Chief Nursing Officer (CNO)
Reasoning for Taskforce Leader #1: A CNO serving on the taskforce may be very beneficial with establishing and supporting the various tasks of a community partnership program. According to American Mobile Nurses Healthcare (2020), executive nurse leaders have an ability to engage a wide range of employees, which could allow for greater employee buy-in on specifical projects. A CNO may oversee many departments or teams such as pharmacy, radiology department, risk management, quality, case management, volunteers, behavioral health, long term care, and possibly many more, depending of the size and type of the healthcare organization (Pagano, 2017). Executive nurses may be involved in numerous activities such as clinical oversight, organizational cultural development, strategy, operations, finance, community outreach, partnership development, and risk management (Counte, 2019). Based on the role and activities of a CNO that are presented above, this would be some of the primary reasons to include this leader on the taskforce.
Special Population Example with a Description of Contribution for Taskforce Leader #1: The community partnership taskforce decides to host a LGBTQ health clinic that is free, or reduced cost, providing healthcare screenings and services within the local area. The CNO can assist with identifying nurses and other clinicians to work at the clinic; identify specific screenings and health services that should be provided for this event; design a pathway to identify LGBTQ individuals that may be at greater risk for other health issues; and serve as a liaison to ensure that the event is appropriately coordinated with the other taskforce members to support this specific population’s needs.
Primary Characteristics of the Selected Population from the Example for Taskforce Leader #1:
Community Partner’s (Organization) Name: Mazzoni Center
Community Partner’s Website: https://www.mazzonicenter.org/about-us
Summary of the Community Partner’s Services and/or Products with a Reasoning for Partnership: This center offers quality health and wellness services that are focused on the LGBTQ environment (Mazzoni Center, 2021). The organization works with many healthcare providers, creating partnerships that were built around the AIDS crisis in the early 1980s and have been servicing the Philadelphia community since their inception (Mazzoni Center, 2021). Creating a partnership with this organization would allow us to ensure that we are reaching this population in our local community, providing them greater access to healthcare services that this center may not provide. We would work with the center to identify their needs and determine the best way to host a LBGTQ health clinic in our area.
