To help you to succeed at reaccreditation, we’ve collected the following educational videos focused on common areas of Noncompliance that you can easily avoid.

Common Noncompliance Issues:

Murray Kopelow, MD, ACCME Chief Executive provides an overview of the most common Noncompliance problems — including signatures on letters of agreement. During the reaccreditation process, those providers who received Noncompliance with Criterion 8 (Standard 3: Appropriate Use of Commercial Support) most often failed to show a letter of agreement with signatures of both the commercial supporter and the ACCME provider for all their activities.

Avoiding Noncompliance with the Standards for Commercial Support: What Do I Need to Understand about Conflicts of Interest? and Avoiding Noncompliance with the Standards for Commercial Support: Understanding the Role of CME Planners:

When providers receive a Noncompliance finding for Criterion 7, it is usually for failing to comply with Standard 2: Resolution of Personal Conflicts of Interest and Standard 6: Disclosures Relevant to Potential Commercial Bias. Providers need to identify, resolve and disclose the relevant financial relationships not only of teachers, speakers and authors, but also of committee members and staff who control the content of CME.

Examples of Professional Practice Gaps and CME that Addresses Nonclinical Professional Practice Gaps:

To avoid a finding of Noncompliance with Criterion 2, providers need to identify the professional practice gaps their activities are addressing and the educational needs that underlie those gaps. In addition to these two new video FAQs, click here to see a list of other relevant video FAQs that pertain to professional practice gaps.

Analyzing Activities' Impact:

Measuring the changes that result from their CME activities is not enough to achieve compliance with Criterion 11. Providers must also analyze their measurement data to determine the effectiveness of their activities.
