We are having issues with learner evaluation completion. Will ACCME penalize us if our learner outcomes data is negligible?
ACCME requires providers to evaluate their activities for proposed changes to learner competence, performance and/or patient outcomes. If you are making a consistent effort to source this data, ACCME will not penalize you for learner behavior (i.e. not completing evaluations). However, if you are consistently struggling to gather data on your activity outcomes, consider updating your evaluation design, or even testing other methods of sourcing post-activity changes.
We want to incorporate podcasts an an accredited CE activity format. Is this acceptable?
Per the ACCME, providers need to choose educational formats that are appropriate for the setting, objectives, and desired results of the activity. If a podcast format meets those components of your proposed activity, then go for it! It is currently an acceptable activity format utilized by some providers.
