ANAC Earns Accreditation with Distinction from American Nurses Credentialing Center
Akron, Ohio (PRWEB) January 30, 2014 -- The Association of Nurses in AIDS Care (ANAC) is pleased to announce it achieved Accreditation with Distinction by American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). ANCC Accreditation distinguishes organizations that demonstrate quality and excellence in the curriculum design and delivery of continuing nursing education (CNE). Accredited organizations, like ANAC meet comprehensive, evidenced-based criteria to ensure CNE activities are effectively planned, implemented and evaluated.
Only organizations that demonstrate zero deficiencies achieve Accreditation with Distinction. As of September 2012, less than 10% of all ANCC-accredited organizations achieve this honor. Nurses in HIV and HIV-related nursing now gain access to the highest caliber of education to meet certification or licensure requirements, which in turn contributes to improved health care outcomes.
“We are proud to be recognized by ANCC for our commitment to continuous improvement and the highest quality continuing education for nurses,” says Kimberly Carbaugh, Executive Director. “ANAC’s having earned the honor of ANCC Accreditation with Distinction gives nurses the assurance that by choosing ANAC, they will receive the best CNE available.”
ANCC Accreditation is a voluntary, peer review process intended to strengthen and sustain the quality and integrity of continuing nursing education, making it worthy of public confidence. Accrediting organizations, like ANCC, assess providers of continuing nursing education to ensure they meet rigorous global standards established by ANCC.
