The need to attend to quality and safety competency development, increase capacity in nursing education programs, address the faculty and nursing shortages, and find new ways to keep step with an ever-changing health care environment has brought forth numerous creative curricular responses and collaborative efforts. To tackle these multiple needs and challenges simultaneously, a new academic-service partnership was created to collaboratively develop an innovative clinical education delivery model. The designed dedicated education unit model not only promoted student learning about quality and safety competencies via unit-based projects but also supported quality improvements in nursing care delivery. Following the initial semester of the model's implementation, a pilot study was conducted. The findings generated the evidence required to take this innovation to the next level. Moreover, the education-practice partnership, which was created to implement the clinical education delivery model, was strengthened as a result of this preliminary evaluation.
需要关注质量和安全能力的发展，增加护理教育项目的能力，解决教师和护理人员短缺的问题，并寻找新的方法来跟上不断变化的医疗保健环境。这带来了许多创造性的课程应对措施和合作努力。为了同时解决这些多方面的需求和挑战，建立了新的学术服务伙伴关系，共同开发创新的临床教育提供模式。设计的专用教育单位模式不仅通过基于单位的项目促进了学生对质量和安全能力的学习，还支持了护理服务提供方面的质量改进。在该模式实施的初始学期后，进行了一项试点研究。研究结果提供了将这一创新推向更高水平所需的证据。此外，创建教育实践伙伴关系来实施临床教育提供模式，也因初步评估而得到加强。
