With this accreditation, Oakstone can now offer continuing education materials, including recorded conferences, journal reviews and learning systems to help train nursing healthcare professionals.
This accreditation distinguishes organizations that demonstrate quality and excellence in the curriculum design and delivery of continuing nursing education (CNE). ADAM's Oakstone service met ANCC's comprehensive, evidenced-based criteria required to ensure that CNE activities for nurses are effectively planned, implemented and evaluated.
Ebix Chairman, President and CEO Robin Raina said, "We are very proud to be recognized by ANCC for our commitment to continuous improvement and the highest quality continuing education for nurses. Nursing professionals now can gain access to the highest caliber of education to meet certification or licensure requirements, which in turn contributes to improved healthcare outcomes. ANCC accreditation gives nurses assurance that by choosing Ebix products, they will receive the best CNE available."
Robin added, "This will open up a completely new revenue line for our A.D.A.M. Division while helping us to better utilize continuing medical education assets that we were providing to Doctors till now. The number of nurses in the country outnumbers Doctors by a large proportion. We are pleased to now have this accreditation, that opens up this large opportunity for us."
