Use Your LMS to Improve CME Activities on Medical Errors

We constantly assess risks and benefits: Is that second piece of cake worth the calories? Are ten extra minutes of sleep worth being late for work?

Many risks that we take are fairly harmless. However, the risk/benefit consideration can take on an entirely new significance when it concerns medical errors. Medical errors can have serious consequences, which is why it’s important that medical professionals have the necessary tools and information on hand to prevent them. That’s why the medical industry places so much emphasis on quality CME activities on medical errors.

The Best LMS for CME Courses on Medical Errors

Successful medical error prevention courses improve the quality of care provided by physicians and, as a result, promote patient safety. Thus, it’s essential for your LMS to effectively deliver informative and effective CME activities on medical errors. Your courses should offer a number of features specifically designed for implementing risk management strategies as well as reliable preventative measures.

Additionally, it is critical that your LMS can ensure that your CME program remains compliant with ACCME standards. Your accreditation criteria can be implemented directly through the learning management system. ACCME criteria:

• Compels CME providers to offer educational activities that address a multitude of real-world applications, ranging from research to clinical care
• Obliges CME programs to improve physician competence
• Ensures that CME systems teach strategies that can be easily translated into action
• Offers CME providers a clear directive for evaluating program effectiveness
