Collaborative Practice in Public Health Nursing: Developing a Community Resource List

Assignment Content

According to the World Health Organization (WHO): “Collaborative practice happens when multiple health workers from different professional backgrounds work together with patients, families, [caregivers] and communities to deliver the highest quality of care” (WHO, 2010, p. 7). 

The professional nurse may encounter many health care professionals while engaged in community and public health-related activities. These health care professions can include community health workers, emergency services managers, environmental scientists, epidemiologists, health coaches, health educators, mental health care professionals, nutritionists, occupational health physicians, outreach specialists, public health nurses, protective service workers for adults and children, safety managers, and social workers. 

It is useful to know who you can reach out to for assistance when planning the care for individuals, families, and groups in the community.

Review the  Public Health 101 Series: Introduction to Public Health  page on the CDC’s website and the  Leading Health Indicators  page on the Healthy People 2030 website. 

Complete the  Potential Community Resources List  template (see attached) using the prompts provided in it.
