During our self-study, we realized that we have only been designing activities to change learner knowledge (not competence, performance, and/or patient outcomes). Can we still be found compliant if we acknowledge this?

During the self-study process, it’s common to discover issues in your CME program that need to be changed or updated.  A provider who recognizes that it has been designing activities to change learner knowledge (but not competence, performance, and/or patient outcomes) and who acknowledges this in the self-study narrative and survey interview has a better chance at being found compliant than if they ignore these findings and don’t share them.  A provider should articulate changes that it would make to its planning processes.
