Benchworks by Elentra provides research-based program benchmarking and assessments to help schools of nursing identify areas of strength and improvement. AACN partners with Benchworks by Elentra to offer a wide range of assessment tools that provide comprehensive, confidential, comparative data with peer schools, which are based on the AACN Essentials and the National Task Force Criteria for NP programs. By being able to put your constituent's perceptions in a comparative context, we believe members will be able to more effectively focus faculty and administrative attention on needed areas of improvement. Current assessments focus on exit, alumni, and employer surveys for baccalaureate, master's, and DNP programs.
