After a year like 2020, we all recognize the need to be agile and able to adjust on short notice 2020 Challenges: COVID-19 Telemedicine Remote site visits Remote interview season Racial unrest Implicit bias Generational changes in priorities Increasing polarization Move away from Annual Program Evaluation/Summary toward Continuous Program Improvement When the leadership of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) conceptualized what came to be known as the Next Accreditation System, a key component was a comprehensive self-study for programs and sponsoring institutions. The intent for the self-study, and for the overall approach to accreditation, was to promote improvement and recognize that most programs already comply with the vast majority of standards. This required a self-study that would allow programs to set aspirational aims, to analyze community needs, and to initiate activities to further these aims, to facilitate improvement in areas where the program already complied with the accreditation standards. This focus on ongoing improvement, through the annual program evaluation and a more formal self-examination every 10 years, was intended to make the accreditation process more relevant and meaningful for the majority of programs already in substantial compliance, and to convert the national graduate medical educationPhilibert ‘‘enterprise’’ I, Nasca T: into The one Program that Self seeks-Study excellence and the 10-Year beyond Site Visit: satisfaction Rationale for of minimuma New standards Approach. Journal of Graduate Medical Education, June 2015 KNOWN PITFALLS Potential Barrier to frank self assessment: if the self study is being directly reviewed by the ACGME and RRC will this lead to a citation?

  • The Best Doctors in New Orleans 599 Doctors in 78 Specialties in the Greater New Orleans Area
    Send to printer Close window The Best Doctors in New Orleans 599 Doctors in 78 Specialties in the Greater New Orleans Area GREG MILES PHOTOGRAPH Q&A There is nothing that we do that we take as seriously as presenting our readers with a list of recommended doctors. This is one area where we never want to be wrong. We know there’s no perfect way to determine the city’s best physicians, but we use a service that we feel is as good as possible. Before you make any decision about physicians based on this list, please be aware of the following: How were the Best Doctors selected? We partner with Best Doctors, Inc., a global health company headquartered in Boston, which serves more than 30 million members in every major region of the world, and works with the best five percent of doctors practicing in the United States to find the right diagnoses and treatment plans. Best Doctors surveys doctors nationwide, asking them for an assessment of the clinical abilities of their peers, and yielding highly qualitative insight into the medical profession. Each physician’s credentials and disciplinary actions are checked as well as their clinical activity. The Best Doctors in America® database includes doctors in 45 specialties and more than 400 subspecialties of medicine. www.myneworleans.com/core/pagetools.php?pageid=19461&url=%2FNew-Orleans-Magazine%2FAugust-2013%2FNew-Orleans-Best-Doctors%2F&mode=print 1/74 What question is asked of the doctors who are interviewed? Best Doctors contacts each doctor on the previous list and asks the same question: “If you or a loved one needed a doctor in your specialty, and you couldn’t treat them yourself, to whom would you refer them?” Do doctors get a chance to respond to other names recommended? Every doctor has the opportunity both to comment (confidentially) on the other doctors included in his or her specialty, and related specialties, and to make additional nominations.
