Creighton University and its academic health partner, CHI Health, were honored with one of three national awards distinguishing institutions committed to and promoting a collaborative care model.
The Nexus Award, given annually by the National Center for Interprofessional Practice and Education, recognizes the efforts of higher educational institutions, health care systems, clinics and community organizations in “linking health professions education and interprofessional practice to transform care delivery, improve health outcomes, and decrease costs.” Creighton and CHI Health earned one of two honorable mention distinctions for the award.
