The recognition “signifies to nurses around the world that CoxHealth’s approach meets the highest national and international standard for programs that help nurses successfully transition into new practice settings,” the six-hospital system said in a news release. To earn the accreditation, the program was required to meet standards across a range of categories including program leadership, outcome measures and practice-based learning. 

The process also involved an ANCC review of a confidential survey completed by nurses who participated in the fellowship. ANCC appraisers also met with people who went through the program and nurse leaders. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
