Bias, as defined by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation (ANCC COA/LSNA) is the tendency or inclination to cause partiality, favoritism, or influence.
Commercial bias may occur when a CNE activity promotes one or more product(s) (drugs, devices, services, software, hardware, etc.). This definition is not all inclusive and participants
may use their own interpretation in deciding if a presentation is biased. The ANCC COA is interested in the opinions and perceptions of participants at approved CNE activities,
especially in the presence of actual or perceived bias in continuing education. Therefore, ANCC invites participants to access their ANCC Accreditation Feedback Line to report any noted
bias or conflict of interest in the education activity.
