Overview of CASN Accreditation Process • CASN’s mission is to lead nursing education and nursing scholarship in support of healthier Canadians. • In order to obtain Accreditation, Schools of Nursing undergo a review of both the Educational Unit and the Nursing Education Program. • Each is assessed against a separate set of predetermined standards of excellence, and receives a separate Accreditation Decision.

CASN Reviewers • Reviewers are faculty members of member institutions, or clinical educators referred by member Schools.

CASN Accreditation Bureau • The CASN Accreditation Bureau makes decisions regarding the Accreditation Status and Terms of Schools of Nursing.

Educational Unit Review • The Educational Unit Standards relate to the administrative structures, processes, and the human and material resources that support the program. • If a School offers a nursing education program at multiple sites, than both sites (educational units) must be reviewed independently. • Both U of C and MHC complete the Educational Unit Review

Nursing Education Program Review • The Nursing Education Program Standards are focused on the curriculum and its evaluation. • In the case of a Nursing Education Program delivered collaboratively, the Educational Unit of each of the partner institutions will be assessed independently and receive its own Accreditation Decision whereas the Nursing Education Program will be reviewed collectively and will obtain a single Accreditation Decision. • Only U of C completes the Nursing Education Program Review

Overview of CASN Accreditation Process

Path A Stage 1 • Step 1 submit an application for accreditation review; this was completed in Oct 2012. • Step 2 Self Study Reports due Dec 27, 2013 at the CASN National Office in electronic form. To allow time to load all files onto USBs and courier then to CASN, our internal deadline for completion is Dec 16, 2013 • Step 3 –Onsite review- January 26-31, 2014 The CASN Accreditation Staff conduct a teleconference call with the Review Team and School representatives approximately three weeks prior to the review ( Jan 8 2014 )

Purpose of Self-study Reports • To provide evidence on how the Educational Units and the Nursing Education Programs under review are meeting the Accreditation Standards

Purpose of On-Site Review • The Team carries out the On-Site Review to validate the Self-Study Reports. • Opportunity for the faculty to showcase our excellence in nursing education.

On-Site Review • At the end of the On-Site Review, the Team provides the faculty with feedback on the strengths, vulnerabilities and opportunities for development identified during the On- Site Review at a meeting arranged by the School. • It is important to note that the Reviewers do not provide an Accreditation Decision. • The Review Team’s Reports are submitted to CASN Accreditation Staff within two weeks. ( FEB 2014 )

Responding to Review Team Reports • The Faculty will receive the Review Team Reports from CASN Accreditation Staff. We review the reports and submit a written Response within two weeks. ( Feb/March 2014 )

Accreditation Decisions • The CASN Accreditation Bureau members assess the documentation provided by the School and Reviewers. • The Accreditation Decisions of the CASN Accreditation Bureau are conveyed in writing to the President of the institution. ( by April 2014 , when current accreditation expires)
