Cross-Jurisdictional Sharing in Action

Formalizing Collaboration to Prepare for Statewide Public Health Transformation

Sharing a Nurse to Improve Health in New Jersey
Montgomery Township Health Department changed its staffing model to move from contracted nurses to a shared full-time public health nurse. This shift provides the capacity needed to effectively address outbreaks and otherwise enhances nursing functions for Montgomery and Branchburg Townships.
Featured Resource: COMPASS
COMPASS is an interactive online tool that walks through the step-by-step process of exploring, planning and implementing CJS arrangements. It follows the three phases of the Roadmap but dives deeper into each, providing additional resources such as videos, charts, surveys and timelines to help break down each phase into smaller sections.
