This document discusses different models of collaboration between education and service, including interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary collaboration. It describes a clinical school of nursing model where a partnership between nurse executives, staff nurses, and faculty transformed patient care units into learning environments for students. Benefits included using existing resources, supporting professional development, and allowing increased numbers of students while continuing quality patient care. Another model discussed is a joint appointment between academic and clinical settings to enhance communication and foster nursing research. A final example provided is a collaborative project between a hospital and university to improve support for new graduates while maintaining quality care delivery.

1. Different models
of collaboration
between
education and
service

3. 

"Collaboration is the most formal inter
organizational relationship involving shared
authority and responsibility for planning,
implementation, and evaluation of a joint effort
(Hord, 1986).



INTER DISCIPLINARY
MULTIDISCIPLINARY
TRANSDISCIPLINARY
INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION

7. 

The concept of a Clinical School of Nursing is
one that encompasses the highest level of
academic and clinical nursing research and
education.

8. 
In this model a partnership of nurse executives,
staff nurses and faculty transformed patient
care units into environments of support for
nursing students and staff nurses while
continuing the critical work of providing
quality care to acutely ill adults

9. 





Uses existing resources
Supports the professional development of
nurses
Potential recruiting and retention tool
Allows for the clinical education of increased
numbers of students
Exclusive use of the clinical unit by School of
Nursing
Use of staff nurses who want to teach as
clinical instructors

10. 
Preparation of clinical instructors for their teaching
role through collaborative staff and faculty
development activities


Faculty role to work directly with staff as coach,
collaborator, teaching/learning resource to
develop clinical reasoning skills , to identify
clinical expectations of students and evaluate
student achievement


11committment by all to collaborate to build an
optimal learning environment

11. 

A Joint Appointment has been defined by
Lantz et al. (1994), as “a formalised agreement
between two institutions where an individual
holds a position in each institution and carries
out specific and defined responsibilities”.

12. 
It is an innovative collaborative partnership
agreement between Fremantle Hospital and Health
Service and Curtin University of Technology in
Perth, Western Australia. The partnership engages
academics in the clinical setting in two formalized
collaborative appointments. This partnership not
only enhances communication between
educational and health services, but fosters the
development of nursing research and knowledge.

13. In an effort to improve the quality of new
graduate transition, Epworth Hospital and
Deakinv University ran a collaborative project
(2003) funded by the National Safety and
Quality Council to improve the support base
for new graduates while managing the quality
of patient care delivery
