Abstract

The Northeast Region VA Nursing Alliance is an academic-practice partnership founded in 2007 between the Veteran's Administration (VA) Boston/Bedford HealthCare Systems and six schools of nursing. The purpose of this retrospective review was to examine the outcomes of the Northeast Region VA Nursing Alliance in accordance with the mission, goals, and sustainability of the alliance. The review confirmed that the alliance has successfully accomplished the mission and goals and continues to be a leader in academic-practice partnerships. Since inception, the academic-practice partnership has increased the number of clinical rotations and clinical faculty, educated nursing students on the care of Veterans, developed dedicated educational nursing units, increased Veteran-centered research, and provided a plethora of educational programs to increase knowledge related to Veteran health care issues.
