ANHE Practice Workgroup
Current Co-Chairs: Chris Bartholomew and Denise Choiniere
Staff: Kathy Hall
The focus of the Practice Workgroup is to integrate environmental health principles into nursing practice across all practice areas. This will include developing practice tool kits that can be used by the working nurse to begin developing green programs in their work environments. This group will work to incorporate EH guidelines into the Joint Commission (TJC) requirements and to integrate EH guidelines into the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (AACN) Magnet and New Pathways criteria. In addition, a white paper will be developed that will focus on the IOM competencies related to Nursing & Practice; what has been done to date, where work needs to be done and mapping an action plan for ANHE to fill gaps.
The Workgroup, currently co-chaired by Chris Bartholomew RN, MS, NBCSN and Denise Choiniere, RN, MS, meets the first Thursday of the month from 12 noon to 1 PM (Eastern). For more information about the ANHE Practice Workgroup please contact Kathy Hall khall003@son.umaryland.edu, who is the staff for the workgroup.
