The purpose of this policy and operations manual is to outline the current ANCC NCPD Accreditation policies and operational expectations for Accredited Providers. While the look and feel of the manual have changed, the policies, criteria, and activity file documentation requirements are not new.
The ANCC Accreditation Program supports the lifelong learning needs of professional registered nurses (RNs) by ensuring that educational activities are designed using criteria that are evidence-based and independent from
commercial influence. By participating in nursing continuing professional development provided by accredited organizations, professional RNs are able to maintain continued competence in a rapidly changing healthcare environment.
This manual includes the educational design process chapter, which focuses on the structure, process, and quality outcomes that impact activity planning and the professional practice of nursing and/or patient or system outcomes.
