Accreditation Board Bulletin: Annual Reporting
As 2016 comes to an end, we encourage you to begin thinking about Annual Reporting. Depending on the boards with which your organization holds accreditation, here are a few quick guidelines:
ACCME
Annual Reporting is completed via the ACCME’s Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS) and will be due March 31, 2017. To access information regarding PARS, inclusive of the reporting requirements, please click here.
Additionally, participant completion data for CME that Counts for ABIM MOC should be submitted (via PARS) by December 31, 2016. While the ABIM will continue to accept participant completion data through March 31, 2017, ABIM Board Certified physicians need to complete their MOC activities by the end of 2016.
ANCC
Annual reporting is completed via the newly launched ANCC Nursing Activity and Reporting System (NARS) and will be due April 1, 2017. Alternatively, providers can download the CE Summary Form and submit via email. To access ANCC Annual Reporting Requirements, click here as well, an FAQ page devoted to NARS can be found here.
ACPE
There is no annual report required for ACPE.
