For ACCME reaccreditation, how long do I need to keep my activity files?
Accredited providers are required to keep activity files/records of CME activities (planning and presentation) during the current accreditation term or the last twelve months, whichever is longer. When it comes to attendance records, however, the ACCME requires that all accredited providers track physician participation for six years from the date of the CME activity.
What is the "interprofessional team" that's described in Commendation Criteria 23?
The ACCME defines "interprofessional team" as a team that is made up of members from two (or more) different professions who learn with each other, from each other, and about each other in order to enable more effective collaborations and health outcome improvements. The different professions cannot simply be different types of physicians, however; the professions should span different fields, such as nurses, physicians, community health workers, social workers, psychologists, pharmacists, etc.
