Collaboration: Everyone working together to accomplish a shared goal
1. Goal: benefit public’s health
2. Involvement of several parties assisting one another to achieve a goal
Asset-based Community Development (ABCD)- using the resources of the community to be more
sustainable.
Community-based participatory research (CBPR)- allows community members to be a part of the research
study to help better the community.
*When working in the community setting, we must be mindful of the different cultures that are present
Nurse-Led Health Centers (NLHCs)- give clients access to nursing services in partnership with the community
they serve. “Safety-net providers”
Fee for service- Unbundled and paid for separately. It gives an incentive for physicians to provide more
treatments because payment is dependent on the quantity of care, rather than quality of care.
Sliding fees- based on the person’s ability to pay. For patients that have lower incomes and less money to
spare after expenses, regardless of income
Grant support- financial award to organizations that apply for funding for their organizations
Third-party payments- pretty much insurance companies
Wellness centers: provides public health as well as health promotion and disease prevention (focus on
primary and secondary prevention)
Comprehensive primary care centers: Provides traditional primary care and public health programs
Specialty care centers: Provide programs that target specific health conditions (i.e. HIV or diabetes)
Stages of Collaboration:
1. Competition
2. Networking/communication
3. Cooperation/Coordination
4. Coordination/partnership
Nursing informatics is a field of nursing that combines informatics and clinical/system knowledge needed to
facilitate patient care.
