Abstract

Nursing professional development practitioners reflect their professional standards when they evaluate outcomes of educational activities. The success case method of evaluation offers a structure to evaluate both behaviors and results when direct observation is not feasible. It provides the evaluator with information about how skills are used in the workplace and what actions help or hinder the transfer of training to practice. This method was used to evaluate a healthcare system safety course.
