NMMDS accreditation, certification, and licensure panel [NMMDS]

Definition

  • The set of terms in this panel are used to indicate quality assurance organizations of the nursing delivery unit/service by 3 different quality measure categories: accreditation, certification and licensure. Accreditation is a seal of approval given by private, nationally recognized groups that check on the quality of care at health care facilities and organizations. Health care organizations must meet certain quality standards in order to be accredited. Certification is the formal recognition of the knowledge, skills, and experience demonstrated by the achievement of standards that are identified by the profession² (ANA, 2009). Licensure is the granting of authority to practice² (ANA, 2009). State agencies determine the requirements for licensure and examine the competency necessary to meet quality standards.
