Academic-Practice Partnership Case Model Repository

The Academic-Practice Partnership Case Model Repository features member-submitted examples of academic–practice partnership models aligned to the AACN/AONL Academic-Practice Partnership Playbook. These case models are peer reviewed by members of the AACN/AONL Academic-Practice Advisory Committee and highlight real-world approaches to advancing nursing education, workforce development, and care delivery.

How the Repository Is Organized

Case models are organized by Playbook chapter. Each chapter page includes submissions that demonstrate how organizations are operationalizing the principles and strategies outlined in that chapter. Select a chapter below to view available case models.

Note: New case models are added on a rolling basis as submissions are reviewed and approved.
