NHSPI_measure_metadata: 57

Data provided by Big Local News. Data from the National Health Security Preparedness Index. The overall index is useful for examining a state’s readiness in dealing with any number of issues. There also are specific metrics that directly relate to states’ abilities to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic. With that in mind, we have pulled out and processed key metrics -- from preparedness for surge testing to evaluating how many people in each state have access to paid time off. Our goal is to make it easier for journalists to access and analyze for their reporting. For more information, please start with the NHSPI_READ_ME file. Questions? Contact biglocalnews@stanford.edu.

M344	State has adopted the Nurse Licensure Compact (NLC)	The Nurse Licensure Compact allows licensed nurses residing in participating states the ability to practice in other participating states without applying for a new license. In the event of a significant disaster, Nurse Licensure Compact member states do not face licensing barriers when incorporating licensed nursing staff from other Nurse Licensure Compact member states into medical surge responses. States not party to this compact face increased administrative barriers when incorporating licensed nurses from other states into responses.
