Tuscaloosa-based University of Alabama’s Capstone College of Nursing has partnered with DCH Health System, also based in Tuscaloosa, to open a supportive care clinic at the system’s Lewis and Faye Manderson Cancer Center.
The program, led by Kristi Acker, DNP, PhD, aims to serve as a replicable care model for hospitals and health systems nationwide, according to a July 1 news release from the university. The academic-practice clinic model will provide clinical experience to more than 350 nursing students.
While currently available only to Manderson Cancer Center patients, DCH Health plans to expand services to more patient populations.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
