Nursing Continuing Professional Development

As an accredited provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s Commission on Accreditation, NNCC can work with your organization to offer NCPD contact hours. In this case, your organization will be referred to as a “joint provider” of the educational activity.

Requirements

Requirements of joint providers to work with NNCC, the accredited provider, to provide NCPD contact hours:

Your organization must be an “eligible organization”. This means that your organization must:
- Comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
- Comply with ethical standards as identified in the ANA Code of Ethics for Nurses and ethical standards for business operations.
- Not be engaged in the following activities: producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.
Approved materials associated with the educational activity must clearly indicate that NNCC is awarding contact hours and is responsible for adherence to the ANCC criteria.

Pre-activity Process

Pre-activity process (live and virtual) for joint providers to work with NNCC to provide NCPD contact hours:

First, identify a contact person from your organization to be identified as “project lead.” We will work with your project lead to be a champion for the event and collect necessary materials from your speakers.
Next, invite NNCC’s nurse planner to planning meetings.
Lastly, NNCC’s nurse planner will share with you the documents that you need to collect from your speakers.

TCPI Power Packs

As the only professional nursing organization involved in the Transforming Clinical Practice Initiative (TCPI) we were part of a collective of 10 professional associations charged to assist over 140,000 clinicians in improving how care is delivered by providing technical assistance support for integrating quality and process improvements, and by building on and spreading existing change methodologies, practice transformation tools, published literature, and technical assistance programs.

In collaboration with other SANs we developed a number of Power Packs to spread the transformational work undertaken by clinicians and practices nationally.

Each Power Pack presents a specific service delivery challenge and the steps taken by the spotlighted practice to address the challenge. Power Packs provide a set of change tactics and resources from the SANs and other professional associations that clinicians can use to address a similar challenge within their own practices.
