Consistent treatment of providers a standardized process 3. Professional staff (consistency, tenure, numbers) Slide 6
7 The ACCME s Strategies to Maximize Validity (Accuracy) and Reliability (Reproducibility) of Accreditation Decisions RULES Published Rules and processes uniformly applied. 1. One set of requirements for all providers (ex., Compliance Criteria, SCS) 2. Interpretations and explanations published on web site 3. Consensus process for Common interpretation of what compliance margins 4. Designated staff responsible for communications internally (staff, ARC, surveyors) and externally (CME community) 5. Common understanding between staff responsible for communications internally (staff, ARC, surveyors) and externally (CME community) Slide 7
8 The ACCME s Strategies to Maximize Validity (Accuracy) and Reliability (Reproducibility) of Accreditation Decisions PROCESS INTERPRETATION OUTCOMES Standardization of providers experience during accreditation process Standardization of incoming database from Providers Validation and verification of information going to surveyors Within survey By Surveyors Between survey and ARC meeting At the ARC Staff Review after ARC but before DC At DC and BOARD After DC and Board Data Management consistency measures Slide 8
9 An example.. Findings from SSR congruent with Findings from PIP Combined opinion of SSR congruent with ARC Reviewer s opinion of SSR Provider s practices presented to the ARC by ARC reviewer to explain findings. Group mediated criterion referenced recommendation, with staff oversight Preliminary findings accurately describe provider s practices 100% of SSR, SRF and DRF S are reviewed by ARC Reviewer. 100% of ARC Reviewer s findings at the Criteria level checked for consistency w Interviewers aggregated findings. In ~10% of providers (~6 of 61), the interviewers and ARC reviewer were not in agreement on a finding on a Criterion In 33% of providers (18 of 54), the interviewers and ARC reviewer were not in agreement on a finding on a Criterion Disagreements were resolved through evidence based (referenced to ACCME written policy or ARC s manner of acting) reconciliation by staff in consultation with interviewers +/ after getting more information and/or by the ARC reviewer or the ARC at a later stage in the process. The ARC committee process altered an additional 56 (4%) of the 1,342 findings presented by ARC reviewers, By staff in files ~14 of 1,342 By ARC reviewer 6 of 1,342 By ARC 56 of 1, (5.6%) The ARC committee process altered 8 of the 61 provider s outcome recommendations (13%) presented by ARC members. Summary The ARC committee process altered an additional 28 (2%) of the 1,188 findings presented by ARC reviewers, By staff in files 11 of 1,188 By ARC reviewer 18 of 1,188 By ARC 28 of 1, (4.7%) The ARC committee process altered 7 of the 54 provider s outcome recommendations (13%) presented by ARC members.
