| Certification is a
voluntary seal of excellence which provides formal recognition of advanced competence in
the field. Its purpose is to provide professional development for, and recognition
of continuity of care professionals. Continuity of care is an interdisciplinary
process that includes patients or clients, their families and significant others in the
development of a coordinated plan of care. This process facilitates the patient's or
client's transition between settings, based on changing needs and available resources.
Continuity of care includes many situations beyond those traditionally associated with discharge planning or case management. Certification recognizes that the professional holding the designation demonstrates advanced competency in the many aspects of this challenging, constantly changing field and indicates an advanced level of expertise. The certification process promotes quality outcomes in the health status of the patients and clients we serve. NBCCC endorses the concept of voluntary certification by examination for all continuity of care professionals. Advanced Certification in Continuity of Care is open to professionals in any health care related discipline, including but not limited to nursing, social work, therapists, clinical nutritionists and physicians. |
