“…could also be monitored and tested daily. Clinical practice guidelines [39,40] could provide guidance to rectify deficiencies. The ongoing monitoring of metrics during and adjacent to periods such as weekends, influenza season, staffing shortages, or security breach events could provide insight into failure points.…”

Aim: Utilizing the subjective experience of nurse executives who have supervised nurses during a major disaster in a hospital setting, this study aims to describe the subjective experience of nurse executives (NE) who have supervised nurses’ responses to major disasters. This paper will focus on strategies to support nursing response to disasters, specifically to strengthen resiliency and the ability to maintain function despite the shock of a disaster, including those caused by climate change. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 hospital-based nurse executives who supervised nurses during some of the worst natural and human-made disasters in different regions of the United States. A phenomenological approach was used to analyze and describe emerging themes from the qualitative data. Results: Three nurse executives demonstrated theme saturation for mitigation steps to augment traditional disaster readiness activities: (1) Assessment of human infrastructure: daily skills needed during disaster response; (2) Identification and study of failure points and metrics; (3) Strengthening human infrastructure: rectifying deficiencies; and (4) Monitoring metrics and making corrections during conventional periods. Conclusion: Mitigation steps may improve outcomes in hospital function during conventional times; therefore, these steps may improve resiliency and the ability to maintain functions during major disasters, including climate change.

Transfusion safety coordinators (TSCs) are an integral part of the transfusion process, which involves many interlinking chains of events and a multidisciplinary group of health professionals. In Australia, individual hospital‐based TSCs have been in place for several decades, with state‐based collaboratives commencing in 2002. The role has expanded across the country and currently there are 113 dedicated TSC positions and many more staff involved as blood/transfusion champions. There are also 12 transfusion nurse (TN) positions within the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. Over time both TSC and TN roles have evolved to meet the changes within the Australian blood sector. The primary focus of safety and appropriateness has now evolved to be more patient‐centred by incorporating patient blood management (PBM) initiatives. National PBM guidelines, statements, strategies, criteria and healthcare standards specifically focused on all aspects of transfusion have influenced this evolution. TSCs undertake diverse roles and activities that vary significantly between health services and within each jurisdiction. Effective communication and change management skills are integral to the success of the role. Conclusion: The TSCs are highly recognised within the transfusion team and the role continues to evolve with the changes in the Australian blood sector. The term Transfusion Safety Coordinators (TSCs) has been used to describe roles such as transfusion nurse/trainer/practitioner/safety officer/clinical nurse consultant and PBM nurses.
