Abstract

This paper is a bibliographic review aiming to describe the actions of nurses in the hospital accreditation process. A review of literature on this theme was undertaken between April and May 2006 using the BIREME, LILACS, SCIELO and BDENF databases. Data was collected on the hospital accreditation process, and nurses in the hospital accreditation process. We concluded that leadership, communication, technical and scientific knowledge, organization of work, and continuing education programs are strategies that enable nurses to implement changes required for the new situation and for interdisciplinary work. Nurses, therefore, can facilitate improvements in the quality of care and effectively support the institution as it seeks success in the accreditation process.
