FAQ

Can I use the same content repeated at different times for different groups of learners to count towards meeting the critical elements and standards in the commendation criteria?

It depends on the criterion. 

Frequency: Some of the criteria standards require that providers attest to meeting the criterion in a number or… More

FAQ

If the hospital’s CME department collaborates with several departments within the hospital or in another hospital within the same healthcare system, does that meet the expectation of the Collaborates Effectively Criterion?

No. Criterion 28 requires that the accredited provider work with outside organizations to more effectively address population health issues. Such internal collaborations, however, could support the provider’s compliance with other commendation criteria.

FAQ

Does the ACCME expect that accredited providers will demonstrate compliance with the Collaborates Effectively Criterion at the activity level?

No. For the Collaborates Effectively Criterion, the provider must demonstrate how collaborations augment its ability to address population health issues, but does not have to demonstrate these approaches with examples of CME activities.

FAQ

For the Collaborates Effectively Criterion, does collaboration have to be with organizations outside of the accredited CME provider?

Yes. The Collaborates Effectively Criterion requires that the accredited provider work with outside organizations to more effectively address population health issues.
