CMSS-ABMS Dialogue • “Arms race” to be gatekeeper for physician quality: certifying boards, licensing boards, CME accrediting bodies, GME accrediting bodies, etc. • MOC major driver of across specialties • ABMS boards and specialty societies partners in MOC • Blurring of the lines between education and assessment – product development • ABMS creating a tiered system of CME? • CMSS represents specialty societies: 38 organizations, rep 700,000+ physicians. Vigorous voice for SS’s
CMSS-ABMS DialogueDecember 12 leadership meeting • ABMS sets standards for certifying boards, which implement those standards in non-standardized ways (“consistent, not uniform”). • Certifying boards reflect 24 autonomous, independent entities. Every dyad different. • ABMS: not in business of product development • ABMS and CMSS, as well as CB’s and SS’s should be partners to improve quality • CMSS seeking an MOU …
ACA Sunshine Act Provisions • ACPM has followed the CMSS lead • Focus on two aspects of proposed rule related to Accredited and Certified CME to avoid unintended consequences: • "Direct Compensation for Serving as a Faculty or as a Speaker for a Medical Education Program,” and • "Indirect Payments Through a Third Party.” The position of ACPM and CMSS is that compensation provided to speakers and faculty by accredited medical society CME programs should not be reportable under the law, as these individuals are independently selected and paid by the society and, as required by the CME accrediting body rules, have no relationship with any manufacturer that might be supporting the CME activity through an educational grant. Similarly, grants from applicable manufacturers to CME providers should not constitute an indirect transfer of value, either to faculty or participants of the CME activity.
