Creating COVID-19 alternate care site trainings for interprofessional teams. 2020

Scott B Harpin
College of Nursing, University of Colorado, Aurora, CO, USA.

To describe the planning and development of alternate care site (ACS) trainings for community COVID care delivery. A timeline of activities by the core training team is presented from the lens of the State of Colorado Emergency Operations, leading to the pilot test of a templated training that was completed during the first week of June 2020. Lessons learned and training topics are described. This case study of the Colorado experience developing training for community-based COVID care delivery sites can inform other public health planners creating the same in their locales. And, public access materials from this project may supplement training for both public health and community health nurse educators.
