Executive Director

North Carolina Board of Nursing

Health professional licensing boards sometimes are subject to third party program reviews, or audits, the timing of which is outside of their control. Examples include sunset reviews, special investigations commissioned by a governor or state legislature, and in-depth investigative reports by the media. Some board members and board executives grow weary when faced with these types of program reviews, especially investigative reports by the media.

Some boards try to stay ahead of the curve by commissioning third party program reviews on their own. This webinar consists of a report by the executive director of a board of nursing who commissioned an independent review of her board’s program for chemically dependent nurses. She will share with listeners why she and her board chose to take this action, and how her board responded to the recommendations offered by the outside reviewers. (Full disclosure: In this case, the Citizen Advocacy Center (CAC) conducted the program review).

Webinar registration fee is $90.00 for CAC members and $110.00 for non-members. If you aren't sure if you are a member, If you aren't sure if your organization is already a CAC member, here is a list of 2012 member organizations.
