A partnership that brings together resources, expertise and education
In 2018, Vizient and New York Alliance for Careers in Healthcare (NYACH) partnered together to implement a large-scale nurse residency program. NYACH covers the fees for the program and convenes 28 participating hospitals to collaborate and share best practices. NYC Health + Hospitals coordinates and manages the program and Vizient provides the curriculum, tools and advisory support.
Nurse leaders at NYC Health + Hospitals play an important role in supporting the program. Depending on the position, specific NRP leadership roles range from giving guest lectures at seminars to releasing nurses from their shifts to attend the monthly seminars, and chief nursing officers are an integral part of kickoff and graduation sessions. Everyone in a nurse leadership or management post throughout NYC Health + Hospitals has a stake in the program’s success.
Together, the consortium works together to improve transition to practice for first-year nurses in New York City by providing education and support. Visit NYACH’s website to learn more.
