If your organization decides to utilize the ACCME’s New Menu of Commendation Criteria during your upcoming reaccreditation, you will need to select a total of 8 criteria. The ACCME calls this “The Menu Approach: 7+1”. For a provider to be eligible for Accreditation with Commendation using this new menu, it will need to demonstrate compliance with any seven criteria of their choice, from any category – plus at least ONE criterion from the Achieves Outcomes category – for a total of eight criteria.
You can find a quick overview of the categories and criteria here.
