ALLIANCE FOR EXCELLENCE IN HOSPICE AND PALLIATIVE NURSING 2010 ANNUAL REPORT Through the generous support of our corporate partners, Purdue Pharma and King Pharmaceuticals, the Alliance held its 3rd Annual Summit in June 2010 and as before it was very successful. Leaders from six nursing specialty groups: American Nephrology Nurses Association, American Society of Pain Management Nurses, Celtic Health Care, Emergency Nurses Association, National Gerontologic Nurses Association and the American Association of Heart Failure Nurses were represented. The outcome of the Summit was a strong commitment to collaborate that began with an early morning walk. The Board of Trustees reviewed the information received from the 2008 and 2009 Summits and developed a strategic plan to implement the five main focal points: Strategic integration of palliative care principles in other health care specialties; research; model identification; advocacy and transitional care coordination. The four board meetings that the Alliance held in 2010 were productive addressing the common issues noted by the three sister organizations: the economy, healthcare reform and the public policy issues, the need to interface with other nursing specialty organizations and finally the commitment to research and concerns of the public at large. The Alliance has built a strong bond, being committed to meeting the needs of our nursing colleagues from other specialties as well as the public at large. Financially, our revenue is limited but our expenses are as well. The main focus of expenditure comes from the planning and implementation of the Annual Summits. We look forward to moving palliative care forward through collaboration in the years ahead.

The National Board for Certification in Hospice and Palliative Nursing (NBCHPN) in its 17th year continues to grow in program development and expand in breadth of certification. Highlights and accomplishments of the past year for NBCHPN® include: • •
• •
•
•
•
A total of 3,749 hospice and palliative care professionals achieved initial certification or renewed their certification in 2010, bringing the total of number of certificants to over 18,000. The 2010 NBCHPN® Certificant of the Year Awards were presented in Boston, Massachusetts during the NBCHPN® Certification Recognition Luncheon at the HPNA/AAHPM Annual Assembly March 4, 2010. The luncheon included a presentation by David A. Swankin, Esq. President and CEO of the Citizen Advocacy Center on meeting public expectations. o Niki Koesel, RN, MSN, APN, ACHPN of Charlotte, NC was the recipient of the Certified Advanced Hospice and Palliative Nurse (ACHPN®) of the Year Award o Florence LeClair, RN, BSN, CHPN of Worchester, Massachusetts was the recipient of the Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse (CHPN®) of the Year Award o Tracey Judkins, LPN, CHPLN of Las Vegas, NV was the recipient of the Certified Hospice and Palliative Licensed Practical/Vocational Nurse of the Year Award (CHPLN™). The 2009-10 Employer of the Year was awarded to Hospice of Southern Illinois. In July, NBCHPN® took part, once again, in the annual HPNA-sponsored gathering of Program Directors of graduate nursing schools that offer specialized education in palliative care. NBCHPN® presence at this meeting helps to keep the issues of certification for the APN in hospice and palliative care as part of the agenda. NBCHPN® continued with the process of developing a certification exam for pediatric and neonatal palliative care and hospice nurses by formation of a pediatric exam development committee (EDC) through convening a panel of pediatric experts to create the exam content. The first exam will be offered March 2011. NBCHPN® remains a very active member of the accreditation organizations, the American Board of Nursing Specialties (ABNS) and the Institute for Credentialing Excellence (ICE) formerly known as the National Organization for Competency Assurance (NOCA). NBCHPN’s first Situational Judgment Exam (SJE) was initiated this year as part of the Hospice and Palliative care Accrual for Recertification (HPAR) for Advance Practice

Nurses. The SJE uses a series of case-based scenarios to test critical reasoning and clinical application of content knowledge beyond the level of the initial certification exam. It allows for an in-depth assessment of the approach used by the individual to handle the complexity of real-life clinical situations and can test not only assessment and treatment decisions, but also ethical and professional topics, such as team building, communication, public policy, and research. Based on feedback from certificants, the Board of Directors voted to allow the use of the Hospice and Palliative Alternative Recertification (RN HPAR) process as an option for renewal of certification of the Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Administrator (CHPCA) credential beginning in 2011. NBCHPN® continued to work with its sister organizations, HPNA, and HPNF, through the Alliance for Excellence in Hospice and Palliative Nurses, to promote the unified voice of professional membership, certification, research and education by: o Participating in the 2010 Alliance for Excellence Summit Meeting built on the successes of the first Summit in 2008 by convening with leaders from six nursing specialty groups: American Nephrology Nurses Association, American Society of Pain Management Nurses, Celtic Health Care, Emergency Nurses Association, National Gerontologic Nurses Association and the American Association of Heart Failure Nurses. o Supporting the technical workgroup for the APRN Regulatory model of The Licensure, Accreditation, Certification, and Education (LACE). The LACE model is the product of substantial work conducted by the Advanced Practice Nursing Consensus Work Group and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) APRN Committee. The goals of the LACE model is to clearly define APRN practice, describe the APRN regulatory model, identify the titles to be used, define the accountabilities of each component group of the model—Licensure, Accreditation, Certification and Education—and describe the emergence of new roles and presents strategies for implementation. o Establishing the creation of Board restricted funds in the areas of Program Expansion, Collaboration, New Ventures, and Infrastructure Expansion. o Continuing to provide funding for certification scholarships and research grants available through Hospice and Palliative Nurses Foundation (HPNF).
