Integrated Operation Planning of Nursing Manpower for COVID-19 Pandemic-an Example of a Nursing Department of Ministry of Health and Welfare Affiliated Hospitals

自新冠肺炎疫情爆發以來，台灣防疫成績獲國際肯定。面對此次新冠肺炎防疫啟動，衛生福利部所屬各個醫院配合疫情指揮中心於整備期以及應變期，投入大量護理人力配合各項防疫任務。作者於此次防疫過程中，就護理人力整合提出幾項建議：一、落實緊急應變不同時期的護理人力儲備與整合關鍵。二、平時即水平與垂直整合跨區分組防疫護理人力，避免整備期或應變期人力整合困難或分工效率不彰。三、徵調人員進駐或執行防疫任務前，給予充足的說明與支持。四、匯集媒體正向力量，傳播正確防疫觀念與態度。期待這幾個月來的防疫課題與挑戰，帶給台灣的是促進防疫進化的蛻變與成長，讓所有第一線的防疫工作人員，將來得以在更有制度、更安全的工作條件下，持續以醫護工作日常，守護世界。
