AB  - The goal of doctor of nursing practice (DNP) programs should be to produce nurses 
      that are uniquely prepared to bridge the gap between the discovery of new 
      knowledge and the scholarship of translation, application, and integration of 
      this new knowledge in practice (American Association of Colleges of Nursing 
      [AACN], 2006). However, there is concern over the variability in DNP programs and 
      expected outcomes. The aim of this article is to describe a 5-point system of 
      evaluation to determine whether a DNP final project meets the outcomes of the 
      AACN Essentials of Doctoral Education in Advanced Nursing Practice (2006) in a 
      comprehensive and rigorous way. In brief, the five criteria that must be met are 
      represented by the acronym EC as PIE (E = Enhances; C = Culmination; P = 
      Partnerships; I = Implements; E = Evaluates). Each criterion must be present and 
      come together to form one complete "pie" representing evidence-based practice 
      that is robust and innovative, culminating in a rigorous doctoral level DNP final 
      project. In addition, we provide detailed examples of how these standards are 
      currently being successfully implemented and discuss additional possibilities.
