The aims of this article were to describe the implementation of an academic-practice partnership for healthcare system workforce development and provide preliminary outcomes of the associated pilot study.
The demand for cross-continuum healthcare delivery models necessitates creation of workforce development structures for advanced practice nursing.
An academic-practice partnership specified enrollment of 5 cohorts of BSN staff nurses in a 3-year DNP program. Qualitative methods were used to explore pilot data at midpoint of cohort 1 student progression to determine learning outcomes and DNP projects with potential for impact on organization goals.
Partnership implementation experiences indicate that contractual agreements and an established evaluation plan are keys to academic-practice partnership success. Pilot study findings suggest that curriculum core courses provide a foundation for designing DNP projects congruent with acute and primary care health system goals. Implementing an academic-practice partnership is a strategy for workforce development to increase retention of advanced practice nurses.
Academic-practice partnerships can serve as a catalyst for a paradigm shift for changing models of care, thus enhancing workforce development succession planning for sustainable growth in healthcare systems.
本文旨在描述为医疗系统劳动力发展建立学术-实践伙伴关系的实施情况，并提供相关试点研究的初步结果。
对跨连续体医疗服务模式的需求使得有必要为高级实践护理建立劳动力发展结构。
一种学术-实践伙伴关系规定在一个为期3年的护理博士（DNP）项目中招收5组护理学学士（BSN）在职护士。采用定性方法在第1组学生学习进程的中点探索试点数据，以确定学习成果以及有可能影响组织目标的DNP项目。
伙伴关系的实施经验表明，合同协议和既定的评估计划是学术-实践伙伴关系成功的关键。试点研究结果表明，课程核心课程为设计与急症和初级保健卫生系统目标相一致的DNP项目奠定了基础。建立学术-实践伙伴关系是一种劳动力发展战略，可提高高级实践护士的留用率。
学术-实践伙伴关系可成为转变护理模式的范式转变的催化剂，从而加强劳动力发展继任规划，以实现医疗系统的可持续增长。
