Nurse Planner information and an educational activity planning framework define the requirements and workflow for an NCPD learning event. The document collects credential, contact, and activity details, then guides specification of a professional practice gap (PPG), supporting evidence, and the underlying educational need across knowledge, skill, or practice. It further requires measurable desired learning outcomes tied to the gap, along with a description of evaluation methods and both short- and long-term assessment options to demonstrate change for the target audience.
