  1. McGaw’s Overview of the Next Accreditation System (NAS)

  2. Goals of NAS • Focused on continuous accreditation and improvement • Increased emphasis on annually submitted data • Enhanced oversight to ensure high quality education and a safe/effective learning environment • RRCs to assess program performance each year: • To free good programs to innovate • To assist poor programs to improve • To reduce the burden of accreditation • To provide accountability for Outcomes to the Public

  3. Basic Structure of NAS • CLER visits • Continuous RRC Oversight/Accreditation • Close Sponsor (McGaw) Oversight • Site Visits (Program or Institution) as needed • Frequent Institutional Review • Self Study

  4. Milestones/Competencies Milestones • Developmental steps: (1) Novice; (2) Advanced Beginner; (3) Competent; (4) Proficient; (5) Expert; and (6) Master • Describe the path from Novice to Practitioner • “Intuitively” known by experienced medical educators in each specialty • Provide framework/language to describe progress • Communicate shared understanding of expectations • Set aspirational goals of excellence

  5. Program Performance Indicators Under NAS(data reviewed by RRC) • Annual ADS Update • Program Changes – PDs/Core Faculty/Residents • Program Characteristics – Structure and Resources • Scholarly Activity (both trainees/faculty) • Board Pass Rate – 3-5 year rolling averages • Resident/Fellow Survey – Common and specialty elements • Resident Clinical Experience – Case logs or other • Faculty Survey – Core Faculty • Semi-Annual Resident Evaluation and Feedback • Milestone reporting

  6. Example 2 year timeline

  7. Revision of Program Requirements Program standards revised every ten (10) years and each standard will be categorized: • Core—Statements that define structure, resource, or process elements essential to every graduate medical educational program. • All programs must adhere

  8. Revision of ProgramRequirements (Cont.’d) • Outcome--Statements that specify expected measurable or observable attributes (knowledge, abilities, skills, or attitudes) of residents/fellows at key stages of the graduate medical education. • All programs must adhere

  9. Revision of ProgramRequirements (Cont.’d) • Detail—Statements that describe a specific structure, resource, or process, for achieving compliance with a Core Requirement. Programs in substantial compliance with the Outcome Requirements may utilize alternative/innovative approaches to meet core requirements. • Good programs may innovate

  10. Program Rollouts Phase I Group – July 2013 • Pediatrics • Internal Medicine • Diagnostic Medicine • Orthopaedic Surgery • Neurological Surgery • Urology Phase II Group – July 2014 • The remaining specialties/RRCs begin using the Next Accreditation System

  11. Core Teaching Faculty • Select group of faculty educators • Need to complete ACGME faculty survey (minimum completion requirements) • Members need to have documented scholarly activities • Core faculty data will be uploaded to ADS by programs

  12. Current PD “To Do” List • Finalize Core Teaching Faculty List and do faculty education • Finalize and convene Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) • Complete McGaw Annual Program Update • Review drafts of milestones if available http://www.acgme-nas.org/milestones.html • Review RRC Program and Common Guidelines http://www.acgme-nas.org/review-comment.html http://www.acgme-nas.org/ccpr.html

  13. PD Ongoing Tracking Tasks • Follow ACGME and ACGME-NAS websites closely • Engage and follow specialty specific training organizations (association of training directors, etc.)
