If your organization decides to utilize the ACCME’s New Menu of Commendation Criteria during your upcoming reaccreditation, you will need to select a total of eight criteria. The ACCME calls this the “Menu Approach: 7+1”. To be eligible for Accreditation with Commendation using this new menu, you will need to demonstrate compliance with any seven criteria of your choice, from any category – plus at least ONE criterion from the Achieves Outcomes category – for a total of eight criteria.
You can find an overview of the categories and criteria here.
