The 2026 Elevating Professional Practice in Health Care Virtual Convention
Creative Health Care Insight is a cloud-based platform comprised of two suites and multiple components:
Competency Suite
Professional Portfolio Suite
The suite components can be used separately or as a fully integrated system. Full integration maximizes capabilities across multiple departments providing your organization with a full-service platform rather than patching solutions together.
The ONLY platform that empowers organizations to fully leverage The Wright Model of Competency Assessment.
Users are offered a variety of ways to satisfy the competency statement requirements. Reviews can quickly see, approve, and deny any competency verification of their assigned cycles.
The Initial Competency Component is an essential tool for improving your organization’s orientation process. This comprehensive solution enhances team morale, boosts nurse satisfaction, and increases retention rates. It supports both traditional and tiered orientation methods, offering a thorough onboarding experience tailored to your needs.
With the Initial Competency Component, you can efficiently monitor orientation progress, manage documentation, and ensure effective communication between orientees, preceptors, and managers. Its tiered orientation capabilities allow for customized educational adjustments that address each individual’s learning requirements.
The Peer Feedback Component offers users the ability to create customized leadership, supervisory, peer, and self-assessments. The reporting includes summarized and individual results.
Our fully customizable Demographic Data Collection component collects individual education and certification data that can then be effortlessly exported to fulfill the ANCC requirements for the DDCT® and ODF®.
This fully customizable advancement, achievement, and compensation tool can target programs that are points-based, requirement-based or both. Reviewers can quickly and easily verify any required documentation, and it all ties in with the DDCT® and ODF® reporting to keep users from rework and being required to upload previously collected data.

Simplify your competency management and save time and resources with our Competency Suite. Our Ongoing Competency module is designed to go beyond regulatory requirements with customizable and efficient reports that track and document every part of the competency process. Developed with Donna Wright, this platform allows you to prioritize and manage competencies while ensuring all completion documentation for each employee is tracked correctly. The platform helps organizations integrate strategic priorities into their annual competency processes, utilizes shared governance structures, and empowers teams to focus on the competencies relevant to their role. When competencies are aligned to your organizations mission and values they become meaningful tools not redundant tasks. Competencies can be filtered and prioritized by groups, departments, strategic goals, population needs, quality data, and high-risk areas so your organization focuses on what matters most.
Our Initial Competency component provides a solid foundation for your organization’s orientation process. This innovative training solution is a driver for significantly improving nurse satisfaction and retention rates within healthcare organizations. By effectively addressing traditional and tiered orientation processes it delivers a comprehensive onboarding experience, which is pivotal in addressing the complex challenges encountered during orientation.
And our Peer Feedback component adds to the competency process by bringing real time constructive feedback from colleagues. This feedback loop helps personal and professional development and ensures competencies are evaluated from multiple angles, a culture of continuous improvement.
With access to Professional Portfolio Suite individuals and organizations can track, trend, and analyze data related to required education requirements, and certification achievements.
The Demographic Data Collection component drastically reduces the amount of time required to collect, track, and validate the key information required by ANCC for the Demographic Data Collection Tool® (DDCT®) and the Organization Demographic Form (ODF®). The information collected can be easily extracted and uploaded to the ANCC.
An organization with 3500 caregivers in their current competency system could save approximately $350,000 in year 1 using the Creative Health Care Insight Competency Prioritization and Management component. By year 5 they could have saved nearly 1.6 million. And this is a conservative estimate; it does not account for time offline from direct patient care, the cost of training, and other indirect costs. There are other intangible savings associate with the platform as well. It has shown to strengthen key components of Magnet® including shared governance and collaboration, which leads to autonomy and likelihood to stay in the job. Every hospital that saves 50 nurses from quitting saves $2 million on average.
Culture is the foundation of effective professional governance. In this article, Amber Orton explores how organizational culture shapes the success of governance councils and shared decision-making.
