The provider gathers data or information and conducts a program-based analysis on the degree to which the CME mission of the provider has been met through the conduct of CME activities/educational interventions.
The provider is asked to integrate C11 information with a broader view of the CME program and organization – to determine the program's success at meeting all components of its own CME mission as described in C1 (i,e., purpose, content areas, target audience, type of activities, and expected results). Providers that review only activity measures of change (expected results) without looking at the other components of the mission will not be found in compliance by the ACCME. Providers should consider that there are five components to an ACCME-defined mission statement and therefore there are at least five components to an ACCME-defined "program-based analysis on the degree to which the CME mission of the provider has been met.” There are clear relationships between C11, C12, and C13-15 which relate to improvement plans based on this program-based analysis.
