Magnet Submission on ADAM to ANCC Key Points

Final Pre-Submission Checklist

Before you hit submit, I recommend one last check to ensure everything looks okay:

• Files open and look correct — Make sure every document opens properly and displays as intended.
• Files are correct and most current — Confirm you're uploading the latest versions of every document.
• Evidence is correct — Double-check that all evidence is accurate, properly labeled, and in the right place.
• All green checkmarks? — All folders should have a green checkmark applied to them. No checkmark, no submit.

Uploading Evidence Outcomes (EOs)

Be sure to upload any EOs that require evidence. These are the key EOs that typically need documentation:

TL3EO — Nursing Strategic Plan

Your nursing strategic plan should be uploaded as evidence for this outcome.

SE10EOa — Needs Assessment & Implementation Plan

Upload both the needs assessment and the implementation plan.

SE10EOb — Needs Assessment & Implementation Plan

As with SE10EOa, include the needs assessment and implementation plan documentation.

EP1EOa — PPM (Professional Practice Model)

Upload your Professional Practice Model documentation.

EP1EOb — PPM (Professional Practice Model)

Include your PPM documentation for this outcome as well.

EP16EO — Safety Strategy

Upload your safety strategy documentation.

Ready to Submit

Once everything looks good, you are ready to submit. The date you decide to do that is up to you. Many folks submit a few days early to build in a buffer for any last-minute issues.

What Happens After You Submit

When you submit, you will see a confirmation screen — this is your signal that the submission went through successfully.

Organizational Overview Review

After submission, your organizational overview will be reviewed first. Here's what to expect:

• The OO is generally reviewed in the first 2 weeks after submission.
• ANCC will let you know once the OO has been accepted or if they need any additional information.

Supplemental Documents

Your supplemental docs are due at the same time as your submission and will be emailed to ANCC. Don't forget to send these alongside your ADAM submission.

Appraiser Team Assignment

You usually hear who your appraiser team is about two weeks before you submit your document. Keep an eye out for this communication so you can prepare accordingly.
