44 Challenges continued Increase in out-of-state callers difficult to handle due to limitation of RN licensure issues After triage, getting patient s to where there was vaccine and/or medication Working with IT/Telecom to maintain technical infrastructure in order to avoid delays in care Maintaining communication with healthcare colleagues and public health agencies
