title: Meeting accreditation criteria: balancing creativity with adherence.
abstract: Accreditation criteria for continuing nursing education provider units are established by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation to provide consistency in assuring the provider's capacity to provide quality continuing nursing education during the accreditation period. Although accredited providers are required to adhere to criteria, there are numerous ways organizations can be creative in meeting these standards.
