As an accredited organization, do we need to report commercial support in PARS if it was paid directly to our joint provider partner?
Yes, the ACCME expects providers to report the complete and full amount of commercial support received for each activity, even if the commercial support is distributed to other non-accredited joint providers.
If we don't receive Commendation status again, does this mean we lose our Accreditation altogether?
If the ACCME determines that your organization has not complied with the Commendation criteria you've selected, but your organization has complied with all basic criteria, standards and policies required for Accreditation, you will maintain your Accreditation status. Instead of a six-year reaccreditation period associated with Commendation, your organization would earn a four-year reaccreditation period.
