ATI Champions take on many roles, and responsibilities can vary program-to-program. Even so, here are some ideas of what your duties might look like.
Guide on All Things ATI
- Complete your ATI Self-paced training within 90 days of starting

- The policy should address the proper implementation and use of ATI assessments
- The program should consistently apply and reinforce your policy throughout the nursing program. It is important that students understand the policy so they can plan their learning efforts accordingly.
Data and Analytics Assist Faculty Members With Generating and Analyzing ATI Data to:
- Evaluate student progress towards attainment of goals

Having an ATI Champion on-site sets the tone for acceptance of ATI tools with both faculty and students. We have seen immediate results with students moving from 69% to 88% in first-time pass rates. Former students are now even advising current students to use ATI.
