---

LIVE

Friday, August 6, 2021, 7:00 AM - 7:45 AM, MD Anderson - Mid-Campus 1 Building


ANCC - Nursing Contact Hour(s) (0.75 hours)

Oncology nursing care is provided by nurses with specialized knowledge and skills demonstrated by a cancer-specific certification or continuing education (CE) in oncology nursing. Research demonstrates the positive impact of continuing education and certification on patient satisfaction and healthcare outcomes. Commission on Cancer (COC) Accreditation Standard 4.2 now requires all registered nurses and advanced practice nurses providing direct oncology care to either have a current cancer-specific certification in the nurse's specialty by an accredited certification program or earn 36 cancer-related continuing education nursing contact hours each accreditation cycle (3 years). The importance of the impact of the COC standards on oncology program development, community outreach, and patient outcomes will be described. Participants will have the opportunity to share best practices related to increasing nursing professional development opportunities for nurses as well as tracking CE and certifications for COC standard 4.2.

1. 80% of the learner will articulate increased knowledge of COC standards as it relates to improving quality of life for cancer patients
