CCHTs
The Nephrology Nursing Certification Commission (NNCC)
will accept
all
5-Diamond Patient Safety Program
modules work towards the 30 hour/3-year CCHT re-certification requirements, if the module in-service is presented by a licensed RN within the facility.
Once the facility successfully completes a module, it earns a “Diamond” and prints a certificate from the participant summary page. The certificate can be duplicated, and the following information can be added:
Name of the CCHT that participated
Date and name of the program
Number of Contact Hours Awarded (1.0)
Signature of licensed staff RN providing in-service program​
This information should be written/documented on the contact hour form contained within the CCHT re-certification application. Please be sure to include "5-Diamond Program" in the title (ex. for
Culture of Safety
module, list as "5-Diamond Program:
Culture of Safety
"; for the
Transplantation
module, list as "5-Diamond Program:
Transplantation
", etc.)
It is estimated that each in-service will take approximately one hour, therefore the NNCC will credit each module in-service at 1.0 CE. The NNCC recognizes module completion towards
technician
recertification requirements only.
