NURSING EXCELLENCE ASSESSMENT TOOL (NEAT)

Tipton Health’s Nursing Excellence Assessment Tool and Process (NEAT) will clearly identify
your structural strengths as well as elements of your nursing excellence framework that
merit additional time and resources to develop, refine or enculturate.

Learn Where You Stand AND
How to Propel Your Team to Nursing Excellence

No more guessing. With NEAT, you will know exactly what your challenges are and how to direct your resources to best address them. Know exactly how to propel excellence, as well as ignite the passion and purpose of your nursing team. We can assess your foundational elements of nursing excellence. We can assess all structures or just a few—you decide.
You get a comprehensive scorecard that shows where you are and where you should consider prioritizing your work.

Assess Your Entire Nursing Framework or
Target Just One or More Structures

NEAT evaluates your organization’s strengths through an assessment of the 32 foundational structures critical to nursing excellence. The domains and foundational structures combine the American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Magnet® and Pathway to Excellence® evidence-based frameworks of nursing excellence.

You can complete the entire assessment or target one or more foundational structures, such as Shared Decision-Making or the Nursing Leader Work Environment.
