Abstract

Background and Purpose

The Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) Council refined the APN peer review to an objective, data-driven process. The purpose of the study was to assess the interrater reliability of APN peer reviews using the APN Rubric based on Hamric, Spross & Hanson's Model of Advanced Practice Nursing.

Methods

A quantitative single-site study with a convenience sample of 80 APN Portfolios.

Results

Analysis of six core competencies (direct clinical practice, leadership, consultation/collaboration, coaching/guiding, research, and ethical decision-making) within the APN Rubric demonstrated substantial and near perfect agreement levels in the APN peer review process.

Conclusions

The application of APN core competencies within the peer review process demonstrated high consistency, thereby increasing the significance and objectivity of peer review outcomes.
