Consulting for Healthcare Associations

 
For more information on how CCI's consulting services can benefit your association, please feel free to contact Mary O'Neale, RN, MN, CNOR, Director of Credentialing & Education, at moneale@cc-institute.org.

Certification Program Development

CCI has more than twenty years of experience in the development, implementation, and maintenance of certification programs. Our expert staff can assist organizations interested in developing a new certification program, assessing options for recertification, or other continued competency options, such as the CNOR Portfolio, or analyzing compliance with accreditation standards.

Revenue Development

Organizations have significant resources invested in their certification programs. Our experts can help you determine how to repurpose your assets to develop products and services that generate nonexam revenue. E-practice tools, learning modules, workshops, and self-assessment portfolios are just some examples of products and services we can help you build using existing assets and organizational knowledge.

Governance Consultation

A lean, strong, and strategic governing body is crucial to the success of any credentialing organization. Developing a strong policy foundation ensures that the board can focus on areas of strategic importance rather than process. CCI can assess your existing structure, identify areas for improvement, and provide a volunteer/staff team to work with your current board and staff to help those respective groups practice high-level joint decision-making.

Certification Program Accreditation

Certification programs can demonstrate compliance with the highest standards by seeking, achieving, and maintaining third-party accreditation. The National Commission for Certifying Agencies (NCCA) and the American Board of Nursing Specialties (ABNS) accredit certification programs that meet their standards. Gaining a thorough understanding of those standards and assessing the compliance of your certification programs can be challenging tasks. CCI's experts can help you conduct assessments, identify possible gaps in your program, and develop strategies for strengthening your program to maximize your ability to achieve accreditation.

Test Question Development

Writing quality test questions requires a demonstrated understanding of and experience in the art and science of testing. Creating effective questions is necessary for all aspects of testing—from high-level certification programs to measuring understanding of continuing education activities. CCI has developed thousands of questions that meet rigid psychometric standards. We can create customized one-day workshops to help you meet all your question-writing needs.
