CCI

Often in these columns I provide updates on the credentialing work done by the Competency and Credentialing Institute (CCI) and our certifications. This month, I would like to share information about credentialing, but I will not be speaking to certifications held by perioperative nurses nor about new programs being developed by CCI. 

Volunteer work seems to be a small but important part of what we do as perioperative nurses.

In these unsettled times, CCI envisions further growth and transformation in 2022 as we strive to meet the needs of our certificants.

The recertification processes of voluntary credentialing programs offer structured engagement throughout a career.

Nursing specialty certification boards, to maintain accreditation standards, must establish programs that maintain or enhance the competency levels of their certificants.

Certificates have long been used to signify accomplishments such as earning a credential like CNOR or CNAMB. But significant changes in documentation and verification processes are on the horizon.
