Credentialling an Overview
Credentialling is a process by which a non-governmental agency validates, based on predetermined standards, an individual nurse's qualification and knowledge for practice in a defined functional or clinical area of nursing.
Credentialling is a voluntary process, which formally recognises advanced knowledge and skills within the specialty. Experienced Gastroenterology nurses, working in their specialty field, have developed such knowledge and skills for the benefit of improved patient care and the community at large. Credentialling the Gastroenterology nurse, therefore, offers tangible benefits for the individual, the employer, and most importantly the patient. It provides a benchmark process, which can assess such a nurse and give an indication of their advanced level within the specialty.
The Credentialling Organisation of Gastroenterology Nurses Ltd. (COGEN) credentialling process is intended to set a high standard for the practice specialty Gastroenterology nursing.
