Nurse-Engineer Partnerships in Academia.

This is the fourth article in a series on nurse innovators, which focuses whenever possible on nurse-engineer partnerships and outlines working, replicable models of collaboration between the two disciplines. In this installment, we explore the work of four engineers who are forging a path to strengthen nurse-engineer partnerships through their work in academia. Their experiences exemplify the work of nurse-engineer teams, inform ways to employ these teams, and reveal the insights that result when these disciplines collaborate in real time to solve health care problems.
