AUDIOCONFERENCE ON CD OR AUDIO ARCHIVE

presented on February 12, 2008

In July 2007, the ACGME released new Institutional Requirements, and with them a new institutional review document (IRD). Are you ready?

A proactive approach eliminates headaches and simplifies the review process.

Learn from colleagues who recently went through a review the steps your institution must take in advance to ensure not only that the ACGME institutional requirements are fulfilled, but also that the graduate medical education committee is organized and performing the correct functions and that resources for medical education and residents within the institution are clearly outlined and organized.

Gain key tips to complete the new IRD, develop supporting documentation, respond to feedback, and more!

Listen to HCPro's ACGME Institutional Review: Insider tips, tools, and compliance strategies, and you’ll gain insider strategies to manage the new IRD and ensure that you are prepared when review time comes around.

This new form is different in both structure and content, and includes time-consuming, detailed, updated attachments that you should be aware of now.

There are things you must do NOW to demonstrate compliance later.

Even if your review is scheduled to take place in a few years, you can use the new IRD to guide you in establishing process improvements and demonstrating your compliance when review time rolls around.

Learn the ins and outs of this new form from colleagues who've been through the process.

During this 90-minute program, you'll learn from fellow GME administrators how to:

• prepare your IRD with a step-by-step approach
• work with your GME colleagues to ensure compliance with ACGME requirements
• incorporate the results of individual program reviews into your process
• clearly demonstrate your organization’s ability to provide administrative oversight
• protect residents and their learning environment.
