What would "patient or community health" consist of for C38?
The ACCME explains that patient or community health are the "health characteristics or outcomes related to individuals within a geographic location, service area, or other grouping". Outcomes can include prevalence and/or incidence of disease, vaccinations, mortality, nutrition, social determinants, etc.
If we have complied with Criterion 37, does that automatically mean we have met the requirements of Criterion 36 as well?
Not necessarily. Meeting Criterion 37 (improving healthcare quality) does not necessarily include the demonstration of improved learner performance (Criterion 36).
