NHPCC Communities of Practice
The NHPCC is establishing several communities of practice (CoPs) designed to thoughtfully foster discussion and idea-sharing at the national level.
CoPs bring people together from across the nation by discipline or by topic to promote collaborative and interactive learning opportunities that:
- Promote professional development and idea-sharing for promising new practices
- Focus on the organic learning process that evolves as CoP members learn about each other’s work
- Meet at specified, regular intervals (i.e., quarterly)
- Include a resource-sharing component
CoPs coming in May and June 2023 include:
- Advanced Practice Providers – started May 2023
- Social Workers – started May 2023
- Quality Improvement – starting June 2023
If you have any questions about the NHPCC CoPs or are interested in joining a CoP, please contact nhpcc@athn.org.
“Communities of practice are groups of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and learn how to do it better as they interact regularly… People in communities of practice share their experiences and knowledge in free-flowing, creative ways that foster new approaches to problems.”
—Etienne Wenger, Author, Communities of Practice: Learning, Meaning, and Identity
