RRC Meeting Activity
• 253 programs were surveyed– 164 post-site visit reviews– 89 administrative requests at meetings
• 391administrative interim decisions
Surgery PR Changes ( 7/1/12)
• New expectations for simulation learning• Removal of the distinction between
“designated preliminary” (DP) and “non-designated preliminary” positions– 300% limit on Preliminary Positions
• Clarification of transplant surgery experience• Flexibility for required chief year
– 4 to 6 month maximum.
Program Requirements- Simulation
II.D.2. Resources must include simulation
and skills laboratories. These
facilities must address acquisition
and maintenance of skills with a
competency – based method of
evaluation
RRC Review- Simulation
• Review Simulation G & O’s• Review Evaluation Methods and Tools• Encourage Best Practices (such as ASC-
AEI)• FAQs
Preliminary Residents
• III.B.1. Residency positions must be allocated to one of two groups: categorical or preliminary positions.
• III.B.1.b) Preliminary (P) residents are accepted into the program for one or two years before continuing their education.
• III.B.1.b).(1) The number of preliminary positions in the PG1 and PG2 years combined must not exceed 300% of the number of approved categorical chief resident positions.
Transplant Experience
• IV.A.5.a).(3).(d) A formal transplant experience is required. It must include patient management and cover knowledge of the principles of immunology, immunosuppression, and the management of general surgical conditions arising in transplant patients. Clearly documented goals and objectives must be presented for this experience;
• Formal rotation may be easiest
Chief Year Clinical Rotations
• IV.A.5.a).(3).(f).(iv): Clinical assignments during the chief year must be in the essential content areas of general surgery. No more than six months of the chief year may be devoted exclusively to only one essential content area;
• Aligns with current ABS requirements; (requires ABS approval)
Goals of The “Next Accreditation System”
• To begin the realization of the promise of Outcomes• To free good programs to innovate• To assist poor programs to improve• To reduce the burden of accreditation• To provide accountability for outcomes (in tandem with
ABMS) to the Public
Challenges/Opportunities
• Culture Change and Faculty Development
• Program Directors, Designated Institutional Officials
• Faculty
• Review Committee Members
• “Retooling” of ACGME Infrastructure and Personnel
• The “Community of Educators” in each specialty must come together and agree on:
• core elements of the competencies
• levels of performance
New Administrative Structure
• John R. Potts, III, MDSenior Vice President, Surgical Accreditation
• Louis J. Ling, MDSenior Vice President, Hospital-Based Accreditation
• Mary Lieh-Lai, MDSenior Vice President, Medical Accreditation
• Kevin B. Weiss, MD, MPHSenior Vice President, Institutional Accreditation
Surgical Accreditation
• John R. Potts, III, MDSenior Vice President, Surgical Accreditation
• Peggy Simpson, EdDExecutive Director, RRCs for Plastic Surgery, Surgery, Thoracic Surgery
• Pamela L. Derstine, PhD, MHPEExecutive Director, RRCs for Colon and Rectal Surgery, Neurological Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Otolaryngology
• Patricia Levenberg, PhDExecutive Director, RRCs for Obstetrics & Gynecology, Ophthalmology, Urology
The “Next Accreditation System” in a Nutshell
• Continuous Accreditation Model – annually updated• Based on annual data submitted, other data requested, and
program trends
• Scheduled Site Visits replaced by 10 year Self Study Visit
• Standards revised every 10 years• Standards Organized by
• Structure• Resources• Core Processes• Detailed Processes• Outcomes
