Collaboratory of the Collaboratories receives AACN Exemplary Academic-Practice Partnership Award
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) awarded the University of Minnesota an Exemplary Academic-Practice Partnership Award for the Collaboratory of Collaboratories, which is a collaboration of 10 practice partners and the University of Minnesota School of Nursing.
The award is presented to nursing schools and their clinical partners to honor highly productive and model academic-practice partnerships.
The School of Nursing has 10 collaboratories, which are academic-practice partnerships aimed at improving nursing practice, education and patient outcomes. These nursing think tanks serve as an incubator for creativity and innovation and engage nursing faculty, clinicians, staff and students in shared goals and vision.
The 10 collaboratories are M Health Fairview, Essentia Health, Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Health Care System, Children’s Minnesota, Faith Community Nurse Network, PrairieCare, Mayo Clinic, Minnesota Hospital Association, Allina Health and Hennepin Healthcare.
