The Houston Linkage Model 1992

Models of Clinical Practice Integration in Academic Oncology Nursing

“…There are several types of FPMs with varying degrees of autonomy and financial administration for the nurse faculty. For example, in an entrepreneurial or linkage model, the nursing school contracts with an organization whereby the school agrees to provide clinical or management services for a fee (Barger et al, 1992;Saxe et al, 2004;Walker et al, 1994). These models may help the nursing school fulfill the missions of delivering patient care, faculty clinical excellence, community engagement, and collaboration in scholarship and teaching.…”

Faculty practice in a private teaching institution in a developing country: embracing the possibilities

“…• Generate revenue (Walker et al 1994) • Allows freedom over the direction of the practice and the operation of systems in the clinic or centre (Budden 1994, Saxe et al 2004 • Threat of financial losses (Walker et al 1994) • Isolation as there are no formal of informal linkages with other healthcare providers except by way of referral network (Barger & Crumpton 1991) Unification model: a shared central administrative position between the clinical agency and the academic entity with faculty members holding a clinical, administration or researcher position in addition to that of educator is a hallmark of this model (Budden 1994 Dyad model: a model of collaboration in which there is no financial exchange but instead the academic faculty member works jointly with the clinical nurse specialist on common projects which may be related to education, practice and/or research (Hutelmyer & Donnelly 1996, Newland & Truglo-Londrigan 2003. Adjunct faculty appointments are based on this model (Hutelmyer & Donnelly 1996), where faculty member negotiate time and level of commitment to the institution (e.g.…”

Community Development Through Faculty Practice in a Rural Nurse‐Managed Clinic

“…Four basic models designed to combine education and practice are described in the literature: (1) the unification model, exemplified by Rush University, in which the dean of the school of nursing is also the director of nursing service ( Hutelmyer & Donnelly, 1996); (2) the collaboration model, exemplified by Case Western Reserve University, in which a number of positions for faculty and nursing are shared appointments, and at the University of Texas, Houston, where costs are shared between the university and another agency, with the faculty member responsible only to the university ( Walker, Starck, & McNiel, 1994); (3) the dyad model, exemplified by the University of Maryland, in which “faculty and clinical nurse specialists complete joint projects in education, practice, and research” ( Hutelmyer & Donnelley, 1996, p. 73); and (4) the community development model noted by Glick et al (1996), in which local residents are involved in the development of a NMC.…”
