Background & Aim: The most common pattern of assessment in educational systems is the accreditation model. The accreditation system has been tested and evolving around a century ago in the United States, then in Britain and some other countries. The commonality of all accreditation systems is based on pre-designed standards, and these standards are of particular sensitivity and importance, since they are the yardstick for judging and defining a new framework for colleges. The purpose of this study was to compile and provide a validation model for nursing faculty with continuous undergraduate nursing courses in Iran's medical sciences Universities. Materials & Methods: This integrated review study was conducted using the Broome method. In this regard, studies that were in line with the research goal were written in English or Persian, and access to their full text, and their year of publication, from 2000 to 2018, were included in the study. A wide range of keywords such as accreditation of health care organizations, baccalaurate nursing education, school of nursing, and evaluation of education were used separately and in combination. To find studies with the library of authentic Persian and international databases SID, Magiran, Iranmedex, Google Scholar, Pubmed, Science direct, ProQuest, Ovid, EBSCO, Scopus was used. Finally, 14 papers were included in the study, as well as articles from 8 external and internal references and one book were used. Data were analyzed using Broome's method. Results: In the first phase, 7 general standards of nursing undergraduate nursing faculties include: mission and management capacity, college and staff, students, curriculum, resources and physical space, expected outcomes, research in education from the accreditation program of organizations The publisher of global accreditation, articles, and published books as well as the guide lines were extracted. Conclusion: Organizations that have institutionalized the process of accreditation in the body of education, awareness and organizational culture can achieve a higher level of quality in providing health care services. Hence, it is hoped that the results of this research can be provided by providing a general guide to planners and policymakers.
