Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic began with uncertainty in how to care for patients and protect staff. The American Nephrology Nurses Association (ANNA) immediately recognized the need to provide its members and others in the nephrology community with as much information as possible. Resources were collected and disseminated in many forms (e.g., publications, webinars, virtual conference sessions). As COVID-19 surges began occurring across the country and staffing reached a crisis level, ANNA collaborated with other organizations to find potential solutions. One solution developed by ANNA was the ANNA COVID-19 Surge Support Process and Map - a process to connect the areas in high need with skilled and available staff. This article describes the ANNA COVID-19 Surge Support Process and Map, which has continued to help address COVID-19 staffing challenges.
