Outcomes Based CME

So we HAVE to demonstrate outcomes as a result of our efforts in CME. This is really nothing new.AS an accredited provider we have always been expected to do this. Now the teeth are in the system to monitor compliance. Some accredited CME providers are going to have a tough time with this. Sharing experiences and questions will really be helpful. What are you doing?

I am adding more "commitment to change" follow-up studies with one group of physicians I work with. It takes a little work but I am finding it a useful approach. I am just starting to work on developing vignettes with questions to get at whether physician can apply key concepts included in an activity. I am also enamored by the "Critical Assertion" methodology. Anybody using that? I would be interested in your experience.

I recently started a podcast series called "Conversations in CME". The first few podcasts address issues related to outcomes. Here is the feed: ctlassoc.libsyn.com/rss. I'd be interested in your feedback and suggestions.
