However, additional mentoring and training in implementation science and analytical skills is needed to effectively lead system-wide quality initiatives. The purpose of this article is to describe the planning, implementation, and evaluation of an innovative post-doctoral DNP Quality Implementation Scholars Program developed through an academic-practice partnership to address this need. Throughout the one year post-doctoral program, we evaluated student experiences qualitatively using focus groups and quantitatively using standardized course and instructor surveys to assess overall programmatic goals. Program outcomes were evaluated from the perspective of the academic-practice partnership planning committee through a Qualtrics© survey. Strengths of the program included the in-depth mentoring by faculty and relationships built across the larger health system. Both scholars and the planning team noted that the system-wide project implemented by the scholars was relevant, timely, and quality-focused. This innovative DNP post-doctoral program leveraged the skill-sets of DNP-prepared nurse leaders to lead system-wide quality improvement initiatives tailored specifically to healthcare organizations. • DNP-prepared leaders require extra mentoring to lead large system-wide quality initiatives. • A DNP post-doctoral program was developed through an academic-practice partnership. • A cohort of four DNP nurses completed the one year program to improve QI skills. • Faculty and health system leaders provided in-depth mentoring through the program. • Scholars completed a system-wide QI project that resulted in reduced patient harm. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: clinical trial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
