Agenda • ACC and CECity Overview • Lifelong Learning & Learning Portfolio – Concepts – What, Why & How • • • A Vision In Practice Partnerships, Technology, and Standards Implementation Demonstration Challenges & Benefits Questions/Comments 3

ACC Overview • The mission of the American College of Cardiology is to advocate for quality cardiovascular care—through education, research promotion, development and application of standards and guidelines—and to influence health care policy • Founded 1949 • 37, 000+ Members 4

CECity Overview • CECity is the world’s leading Saa. S (Software as a Service) provider of online healthcare education, outcomes, and performance improvement technologies & distribution networks • Experienced Management Team – Broad healthcare, CME, association, pharmacy, managed care, performance assessment & improvement, six sigma, and technology experience • CECity is not a Content Provider – No Content Creation – No Content Accreditation • CECity is not a web destination – Technology is branded and focused on our partner not CECity 5

Business Case • No single system could provide the member, or ACC, with a complete picture of the member’s education activities • No linkage between education, competencies, certification, quality, outcomes, and reimbursement opportunities (P 4 P) • Not leveraging ACC data products, like NCDR™, as part of overall performance improvement strategy • External Influences – Emphasis On Competency, Quality Performance And Patient-centered Care 6

The Concept • Provide a Lifelong Learning Portfolio to ACC Members – From Fellowship to Emeritus (F 2 E) • Deliver seamless access for members to multiple products (ACC and non-ACC) across multiple systems • Integrate with the new Cardiosource. org site launching in June 2010 • Meld Practice & Quality Improvement With Educational Content – Utilizes Data That Are Trusted By The Learner – Links Learners To Competency-based Curricula To Assess Individual & Peer Competence, Gaps & Performance – Provides Awareness For The Lifelong Learner • Facilitate The Ability To Engage Lifelong Learning • Support Certification & Licensure – Easy access to products that offer MOC and MOL 7

How Level 5 provides health and sustainability to the industry Levels 3 & 4 provide value for the institution and faculty Level 5: Industry and standards. Interoperability, cross-institution sharing Level 4: Integrated. Portfolios are integrated into the process of instruction and assessment Level 3: Institution-sponsored Levels 1 & 2 provide the greatest value for the learner Level 2: Dynamic, database driven. Central artifact pool is used to create different representations based on learner need Level 1: Simple website, blogs, wikis Siemens, G. (2004). Stages of eportfolio development.

A Vision In Practice • Past • Present • Future Level 5 Level 4 Level 3 Level 2 Mid 90’s to Present Level 1 10

Level 5 Level 4 Level 3 2001 -2007 Level 2 Level 1 11

Level 5 Level 4 2009 Level 3 Level 2 Level 1 12

Partnerships, Technology, and Standards • Platforms & Partners – ACC Association Management System - i. MIS – Sitecore Enterprise CMS • Sitecore Consultants – CME 360 from CECity – Lifetime from CECity • 3 rd Party Content Providers (initial list) – – ACCardio Medcases Med. IQ Clinical Care Options • Medbiquitous Standards Used To Tie Everything Together 15

Overall System Integration Model 16

Activity Integration Model 17

Activity Integration Implementation Standards Utilized To Enable Integrations • • • OASIS SAML SSO Medbiquitous HCLOM Medbiquitous Activity Report IMS QTI CECity API’s ACC i. MIS API’s 18

Challenges & Benefits • Challenges – Adoption To Become Part Of Daily Activities – Not All Competencies Are Quantitative – Utilizing Aggregate or System Data – Incorporating “Quality” Into Learning Process • Benefits – Comprehensive, Discoverable, Targeted, Integrated – Inter- and Intra. Organizational Collaboration – Process Of Standardization (Moving to Level 5) 19
