This week two influential healthcare institutions, the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee and Catholic Healthcare West in San Francisco, reached an agreement that averted a nursing strike scheduled for October 30 in the short term, and could set the pace for H1N1 protection throughout the nation in the long run, according to a press release.
The biggest part of the agreement is the creation of a new system-wide emergency task force that will monitor system-wide standards and set uniform policies based on federal state and local guidelines.
