Douglas Char, MD – Emergency Medicine

1. Douglas Char, MD – Emergency Medicine We think act like this group • Clinical Competency Committees How the residents see us

2. Clinical Competency Committee • ACGME definition force us to broaden evaluation committee membership, change work process • Expand beyond Program Directors • PD is not chair but member of the committee • Informal review -> formal assignment of milestone levels • CCC meets prior to resident semi-annual performance evaluation (twice yearly) • Calendar allows submission of milestone data to ACGME

3. Prior Approach based on 6-CC

4. CCC Operationalize • 8-12 faculty member (PDs, FDs, core faculty) • It’s tons of work (48 residents takes 5+ hours) • Identify true stakeholders • Subcomm assigned to review each class the provide overview to full CCC • Class APD and 1-2 other faculty • 12-16 hours; review data, discuss, create report • Subgroup aware of class norms, follows individual throughout training • CCC ensured program norms between classes

5. Performance Dashboard • Ideally pushes data to CCC members, residents in organized one stop shop format • Creating viable dashboard requires lots of IT muscle (residents faculty looking for fault) • Avoid getting trapped in the process - $$$ • Should there be a centralized resource?

7. Gathering Data = Hassle Factor • Mistrust of data by residents, faculty • No good system to collect, lots of staff and faculty time • Residents see where data being applied

8. Final Milestone Rating Decisions

9. Preparing Residents for Milestones • Annual Retreat – we’ve talked NAS for the past 3 years • Self assessment – familiarize res w/ concepts, rankings • They don’t care about it until they get tripped up by the new rules • Have to make Milestones relevant to them • Include residents in plans & changes, this creates buy in (even if only in token way) • Make it clear this is moving target, it will change! Residents more invested than faculty

10. Milestones likely to be part of their future as physicians • Maintenance of certification for Board status • Hospital privileging - ongoing CQI initiatives • Performance data have many uses
