How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Advanced Practice Nursing as Primary Care Engine
    methodology: advanced_practice_nursing_for_primary_care
    By developing advanced practice nurses as clinical leaders, we expand access to high-quality primary care in underserved Haitian communities, because nurse practitioners trained to U.S. standards can deliver evidence-based care across diverse clinical domains where physicians are scarce.
  • International Academic Partnership for Systemic Capacity Building
    methodology: international_academic_partnership
    By establishing cross-border academic partnerships between North American and Haitian institutions, we strengthen local nursing education systems, because collaborative knowledge exchange and shared research infrastructure enable sustainable, high-quality training programs led by Haitian professionals.
  • Local Leadership Succession for Sustainability
    methodology: local_leadership_succession
    By investing in doctoral-level training for Haitian nurse leaders, we ensure long-term program sustainability and local ownership, because transitioning leadership to local faculty prevents dependency on external actors and retains expertise within the country.
  • Standardized Evidence-Based Clinical Practice
    methodology: evidence_based_clinical_practice
    By applying U.S. evidence-based standards of care across maternal, pediatric, adult, and emergency medicine, we improve clinical outcomes in Haiti, because consistent, high-quality decision-making reduces variability and increases treatment efficacy in under-resourced settings.
  • Train-and-Deploy Health Workforce Model
    methodology: train_and_deploy_health_workforce
    By training and deploying Family Nurse Practitioner students to deliver care in underserved regions, we improve health outcomes and build local capacity, because this creates a sustainable cycle of care and education that reduces preventable deaths and strengthens the health system long-term.
