About ACCME Accreditation • Mass General Brigham Professional Development is currently accredited by the Accredited Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) with Commendation. • Aspiring physicians spend four years in medical school and three to five years in residency training. For the rest of their careers, physicians rely on accredited CME as one of the support systems that helps them drive improvements in practice and optimize the care, health, and wellness of patients.

Participation in CME • Participation in accredited CME helps physicians meet requirements for maintenance of licensure, maintenance of certification, credentialing, membership in professional societies, and other professional privileges. • Physicians can count on accredited CME to provide a protected space for them to learn and teach without commercial influence. • Clinicians are expected to deliver safe, effective, cost-effective, compassionate care, based on best practice and evidence. Accredited CME helps make that happen.

ACCME Standards for Commercial Support • The Standards for Commercial Support have recently been updated to Standards to Ensure Independence in CME Activities which are designed to ensure that CME activities are independent and free of commercial bias. • All accredited CME providers in the ACCME System are responsible for complying with the Standards for Commercial Support and the policies that supplement the Standards. • Link: https: //www. accme. org/accreditation-rules/standards-for-commercialsupport

ACCME Accreditation with Commendation • ACCME has standard criteria 1 -13 that need to be achieved by all accrediting providers. • To be eligible for Accreditation with Commendation, CME providers need to demonstrate additional compliancy. • 7 + 1: Providers need to show compliance with any 7 of the criteria on the wheel, plus one criteria from the “achieves outcomes” section. www. accme. org/commendation

Awarding CME Credits • We award CME credits to physicians. • Other specialties, such nursing or pharmacy, can attend the CME event. • These participants from other specialties will need to go to their boards with their credits.

Joint Accreditation • Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education offers organizations the opportunity to be simultaneously accredited to provide dentistry, medicine, nursing, optometry, PAs, pharmacy, psychology, and social work continuing education through a single, unified application process, fee structure, and set of accreditation standards. • We are in the process of researching and applying for Joint Accreditation. • Link: https: //www. jointaccreditation. org/

About Joint Accreditation • A leading model for interprofessional collaborative practice, Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education establishes the standards for education providers to deliver interprofessional continuing education (IPCE) planned by the healthcare team for the healthcare team. • Interprofessional continuing education (IPCE) is when members from two or more professions learn with, from, and about each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes (ACCME, ACPE, ANCC, 2015).

Why is Joint Accreditation important? • Joint Accreditation promotes interprofessional education that leads to improved healthcare delivery and better patient outcomes. • National and international health leadership organizations have identified interprofessional education and team-based care as a critical component of health care improvement. • For example, according to the World Health Organization, interprofessional education is an action that “occurs when students from two or more professions learn about, from, and with each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. ” (Framework for Action on Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice, WHO, 2010)

Eligibility for Joint Accreditation • To be eligible for Joint Accreditation, an organization needs to demonstrate that for the previous 18 months its structure and processes to plan and present education by and for the healthcare team have been fully functional; and that at least 25% of its educational activities have been designed by and for healthcare teams. In addition, the organization must demonstrate compliance with the Joint Accreditation criteria. • With Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education, we seek to assure the public that healthcare teams receive education designed to be independent, free from commercial bias (follow ACCME Standards of Commercial Support), based on valid content, and effective in improving the quality and safety of care delivered by the team.

Benefits of Joint Accreditation • Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education increases operational efficiency, saving time, money, quality and resources for continuing education providers • Joint Accreditation can also produce credit for education that is not team-related. • Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education enables continuing education providers to position their programs as strategic partners in local, national, and international efforts to advance team-based care and healthcare improvement. • Improve experience for learners because we can provide credit for multiple professions.

Action Steps for Joint Accreditation • Please think about your activities and how they are interprofessional. • We encourage interprofessional collaboration and are asking you to consider this approach. • We will be reaching out to programs regarding interprofessional activities. • We will ask you if your programs involve other professions that help you with the planning. Please contact us if you have any questions or ideas. • We will be updating the evaluation form to reflect interprofessional learning.

Conclusion • Today we went over in-hospital series proposal deadlines and reviewed ACCME and Joint Accreditation. We look forward to next weeks webinar with Dr. Robert Birnbaum’s presentation on innovation in education. • We welcome suggestions on topics for our webinars. • These slides will be available on our website. • Time to answer some chat questions. • Please send all CME questions to Partners.
