The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) is a lead partner with the Department of Health and Human Services in addressing the issues of the health care system’s preparedness in the event of a bioterrorist event. There is a critical need for the science of health services research and systems research to inform preparedness to achieve maximal system responsiveness and reinforce effective linkages between the health care system and the public health infrastructure. As AHRQ expands research in bioterrorism preparedness, nurse clinicians and nurse investigators are needed to bring the expertise to studies of the health care environments. There is an opportunity to address long-ignored systems and operations issues with collateral and shared benefits to the health care system. The bioterrorism preparedness research can reinvigorate our capacity to rebuild and restore a system responsive to future rare and catastrophic events as well as confront the current challenges of our systems of care.
