Abstract
Collaboration between academic centers and healthcare systems/practices has demonstrated improved outcomes, fostered innovation, and increased nursing research. Although evidence for their importance has been established, all too often these academic-practice partnerships (APP) encounter hurdles that limit success. Lack of time, poor communication, and unclear leadership endorsement are often barriers to effective APPs. Utilizing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, a successful APP was developed based on the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) competencies. The IPEC framework addressed needs related to the COVID-19 pandemic and became the foundation for many future endeavors between a large children’s healthcare system and a university school of nursing. This APP demonstrated the appropriate capacity and organizational structure to provide simultaneous benefits to multiple parties while improving systemwide healthcare outcomes. This article outlines the development and implementation processes, subsequent evaluation, and implications for practice related to this highly successful partnership.
