ACCESS: an empirically-based framework developed by the International Nursing CASCADE Consortium to address genomic disparities through the nursing workforce.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: Efforts are needed across disciplines to close disparities in genomic healthcare. Nurses are the most numerous trained healthcare professionals worldwide and can play a key role in addressing disparities across the continuum of care. ACCESS is an empirically-based theoretical framework to guide clinical practice in order to ameliorate genomic disparities. Methods: The framework was developed by the International Nursing CASCADE Consortium based on evidence collected between 2005 and 2023 from individuals and families of various ethnic backgrounds, with diverse hereditary conditions, and in different healthcare systems, i.e., Israel, Korea, Switzerland, and several U.S. States. The components of the framework were validated against published scientific literature
