Connect with Targeted Nursing Resources at The Advisory Board

 The Nursing Executive Center’s Best Practice Crosswalk enables nursing leaders to easily identify Center resources which will help solve their most pressing challenges. Through the Best Practice Crosswalk users can quickly search for resources across six subject areas and 30 sub-topic areas, refining their search results to find solutions which can be implemented on a single nursing unit or across the entire nursing department. In three easy steps, connect with targeted tactics.


• Select topic and sub-topic of interest
Select the topic and subtopic of interest and define the scope of desired resource (either individual unit or the entire nursing department).

• Refine search (if desired)
Refine your search at any time by clicking the “Refine Search” button in the navigation bar at the top of the Best Practice Crosswalk. Easily change the selected topic or subtopic, or refine results by changing the scope of resources included in the search.

• “Click-through” to supporting material
Easily “click-through” the list of Center resources to access materials of interest, including: best practices, publications, online tools, on-demand video presentations, and on-demand web conferences.

Nursing Executive Center members may access the tool now.
