Confidence-Based Learning

Patient safety depends upon making accurate, knowledgeable, and confident decisions, but many times your level of knowledge and confidence in accuracy are not the same. AORN’s Confidence-Based Learning (CBL) meets that challenge by creating a mastery of knowledge so that you can confidently make correct decisions.

Knowledge quality is the best predictor of a person's potential performance. The CBL modules are designed to test your own or your team's level of knowledge and level of confidence in that knowledge.

CBL begins by determining what learners know and their levels of confidence. As a learner progresses through the module(s), educational resources are provided to help the learner understand the correct answers to the questions that were answered incorrectly or without confidence. Learners continue through the module(s) until they have achieved mastery, which means that their knowledge is correct and their level of confidence is "sure."
