Caldwell, DNSc, ANP-BC Chair (2012—2013) CCNE Board of Commissioners A Message from the Board Chair When the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) was established in 1996, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s Board of Directors appointed a Steering Committee to guide CCNE’s development. This committee showed great insight in establishing a set of values, or principles, to guide CCNE’s work. These values, which were subsequently adopted by the founding Board of Commissioners elected to govern CCNE, have since been incorporated into every edition of CCNE’s accreditation standards for baccalaureate and graduate nursing education programs and post-baccalaureate nurse residency programs. The values are front and center in CCNE’s work: Institutions rely on the values when developing programs that serve the needs of their com- munities of interest. On-site evaluation teams reflect on them when considering program compliance with the accreditation standards. The CCNE staff ensures that the values are incorporated throughout the Commission’s operations and evaluation functions. Committee and Board meetings begin with a review of the values to ensure that they are considered during the decisionmaking process. At every opportunity, CCNE seeks feedback from its community of interest, for example, by inviting feedback about workshops on writing self-studies, soliciting comments on proposed accreditation standards and procedures, and surveying program administrators and on-site evaluators regarding the accreditation review experience. Consistent- ly, feedback received indicates that the CCNE values are being upheld. On the following pages, you will find a review of CCNE’s activities in Fiscal Year 2013 (July 1, 2012 — June 30, 2013). Comments and feedback from CCNE’s community of interest are featured, showing how the Commission’s core activities embrace the CCNE values. Thanks to you — our constituent programs, volunteer on-site evaluators, committee and Board members, national nursing organizations, and other key stakeholders — I am confident that CCNE has had another successful year. Linda M. Caldwell, DNSc, ANP-BC Chair (2012—2013) CCNE Board of Commissioners facilitate and engage in SELFassessment c om m is s i o n o n c o l l e g i at e n u r s i n g e d u cat i o n 1 “The changes in the standards are appropriate and timely given the changes in both the nursing education and practice environments. The editorial changes made in the final revision improve clarity and flow of the document which should be very beneficial for the programs when writing the self-study document as well as to site evaluators.” — College of Nursing Faculty, Response to Call for Comments on Proposed Standards, April 2013 VALUE AND FOSTER INNOVATION in both the accreditation process and the programs to be accredited 2 com m ission on c ol l egiat e n u r s i n g e d u cat i o n Standards revision In 2012—2013, CCNE undertook an extensive process to review and revise its accreditation standards for baccalaureate and graduate programs. To this end, the CCNE Standards Committee was created by the CCNE Board of Commissioners. (See a listing of the committee members on page 29.) The multi-step review process included a solicitation of input from CCNE’s community of interest, including administrators and faculty of CCNEaccredited programs, practicing nurses, students, nursing organizations, state agencies, and higher education organizations, among others. Based on the comments received, edits were proposed to the accreditation standards, and the draft revisions were broadly disseminated for review and comment. Again, CCNE’s community of interest was asked to provide feedback, and CCNE conducted forums around the country, in conjunction with nursing education conferences, in order to apprise constituents of the process and solicit input. After extensive review of the input received from the community, the Standards Committee presented the CCNE Board of Commissioners with its final recommended revisions, and in May 2013, the CCNE Board approved the Standards for Accreditation of Baccalaureate and Graduate Programs (Standards). The 2013 Standards updates the professional nursing standards and guidelines nursing education programs are required to incorporate into their curriculum. Additionally, the 2013 Standards positions CCNE to begin accrediting post-graduate Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) certificate programs, in accordance with the Consensus Model for APRN Regulation: Licensure, Accreditation, Certification & Education (July 7, 2008). While revisions were made throughout the Standards, constituents will most readily notice the changes made to Standard IV: Program Effectiveness: Assessment and Achievement of Program Outcomes. Standard IV has been reworked to simplify the manner in which programs present their systematic program evaluation processes and outcomes. Noticeably, student achievement requirements related to program completion, licensure and certification, and employment are now individually addressed, and CCNE expectations related to these outcomes are specifically defined. The success of the standards revision process is a result of the substantive engagement of our community of interest and the tireless work of our volunteers. Thank you to everyone who participated in the process. c om m is s i o n o n c o l l e g i at e n u r s i n g e d u cat i o n 3 Support to accredited programs Throughout the year, CCNE representatives work diligently to provide ongoing support to programs seeking initial accreditation and to accredited programs. To this end, CCNE deploys its staff and volunteers to lead educational workshops and conduct forums. These events are held in conjunction with previously planned conferences or meetings in order to capture as large an audience as possible and to reduce costs associated with attendance. In FY 2013, some of the learning sessions provided by CCNE include: Workshops on Writing Self-Studies [American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (AACN) Spring Annual 4 Meeting and Fall Semiannual Meeting]; Accreditation Standards Forums (AACN Fall Semiannual Meeting, Master’s Education Conference, and Doctoral Education Conference); and The Value of Accrediting Your Nurse Residency Program (University HealthSystem Consortium/AACN Nurse Residency Program Meeting). Of course, staff provides support to baccalaureate and graduate programs as well as post-baccalaureate nurse residency programs on a daily basis. CCNE values its relationship with its constituent programs and strives to provide the best customer service possible. com m ission on c ol l egiat e n u r s i n g e d u cat i o n FOCUS ON stimulating and supporting CONTINUOUS QUALITY improvEment in nursing programs and their outcomes “This accreditation process was a wonderful opportunity for our program to learn about and develop an ongoing evaluation process that will keep us up to date and on the cutting edge of nursing education. We appreciate the collaborative support of the visiting team and the staff of CCNE as we move forward in our journey.” — Chief Nurse Administrator, Post-evaluation Survey, Spring 2013 c om m is s i o n o n c o l l e g i at e n u r s i n g e d u cat i o n 5 “The accreditation process required an expected and reasonable amount of resources. I appreciate that you are always looking for ways to facilitate the process, with new ideas being implemented for future use.” — Chief Nurse Administrator, Post-evaluation Survey, Fall 2012 Maintain a process that is both cost-effective and costaccountable 6 com m ission on c ol l egiat e n u r s i n g e d u cat i o n cost-effective initiatives & Program enhancements CCNE understands that programs have a finite pool of resources, and the CCNE Board and staff have worked to ensure that CCNE operates in a fiscally responsible manner. To this end, CCNE’s training opportunities are provided at little to no cost. Over the past several years, in fact, CCNE has significantly reduced the registration fee for the Workshop on Writing Self-Studies to encourage participation and minimize program costs. CCNE breakout sessions or forums held in conjunction with other conferences do not require a separate registration fee. And, most notably, the fees associated with pursuing CCNE accreditation have not risen in 3 years, and the annual fees have either remained flat or risen at a modest rate. In FY 2013, CCNE completed the launch of the CCNE Online Community, a web based tool that facilitates the scheduling of on-site evaluations; enables the exchange of documents related to the accreditation review, while eliminating the requirement that programs submit printed copies of the accreditation self-study document to the CCNE office; and manages communications among program officials, evaluators, and CCNE staff. This move greatly reduces the fiscal and natural resources expended by programs in the accreditation process. Additionally, all other reports and materials submitted to CCNE are delivered electronically, in support of AACN and CCNE’s environmental sustainability initiatives. Periodically, CCNE selects new evaluators to ensure that CCNE maintains a broad pool of accreditation reviewers. In May 2013, CCNE trained 111 new evaluators for their roles as accreditation reviewers for baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs. Participants were selected following a competitive application process, and those nurses chosen represented both practice and education. The new evaluators were provided an historical overview of accreditation and reviewed the CCNE history, mission, values, and goals. They were also trained on their roles and responsibilities as CCNE evaluators and completed an in-depth review of the CCNE accreditation standards. Congratulations to those selected to participate as on-site evaluators. c om m is s i o n o n c o l l e g i at e n u r s i n g e d u cat i o n 7 Branding In January 2013, CCNE introduced its new logo and brand concept. The new logo represents CCNE’s pre-eminence in the field of nursing accreditation and captures the spirit of the nation’s growing reliance on the nursing profession. At the same time, the rising star used in the graphic draws on the shooting star used in CCNE’s original brand, which symbolized CCNE’s emergence in the field and its leadership as a new accrediting body. The star in the new logo emerges from the “C” and “N” symbolizing CCNE’s support for higher education in nursing (Collegiate) and CCNE’s responsiveness to the needs of the profession (Nursing). 8 The new logo is accompanied by a modern primary and secondary color palette. The new color palette embraces the boldness required of today’s students, nurse residents, practitioners, faculty, and administrators, while also paying homage to the gold star in CCNE’s original logo. The brand concept includes a new and energetic accreditation seal that CCNE’s accredited programs may use in their print and electronic media. The seal is a symbol to an accredited program’s constituents that the program is worthy of public approbation and has been successfully reviewed according to nationally recognized standards. com m ission on c ol l egiat e n u r s i n g e d u cat i o n encourage programs to develop graduates who are effective professionals and socially responsible citizens “Congratulations on your new logo. I like it a lot; it is very distinctive and stylish. CCNE is a ‘star’ operation!” — Practicing Nurse & Professor Emerita, Personal Communication, January 2013 c om m is s i o n o n c o l l e g i at e n u r s i n g e d u cat i o n 9 Accreditation Granted or Continued FY 2013 The CCNE Board of Commissioners granted initial or continuing accreditation to the 156 programs at the 112 institutions listed below between July 1, 2012 and June 30, 2013.
