Graduate Medical Education CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE
ACGME 2011 CPR Duty Hours PGY-1 requirements Shift work asynchronous work patterns Conferences for night floats Strategic napping Resident supervision Delineation of duties and responsibilities Monitoring Patient Safety Programs Transitions of Care
Cost to Train Resident (AAMC Regional 75 th percentile) Stipend - $52,225 65,903 Benefits - $15,403 19,441 Administrative overhead - $30K-50K/res/yr Research and academic fees Total - $95,000 135,000/res/year
Who Pays for GME? CMS DME Direct Graduate Medical Education funding is intended to fund that portion of resident stipend and benefits proportional to inpatient medicare days within a training hospital IME Indirect Graduate Medical Education funding is intended by higher hospital costs related to the presence of residents DSH disproportionate share payments State funding Local funding Other
ACGME Funding at risk Federal cuts State cuts Local cuts AAMC DIO Survey revealed: All states would be affected Training slots would be reduced Significant impact on patient care

UTSW UPCOMING ISSUES: THE NEXT ACCREDITATION SYSTEM
Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education The Next Step in Outcomes Evaluation and Program Accreditation Bradley F. Marple, MD (with permission from Tom Nasca, MD, CEO ACGME)
Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education Background on Milestones
Supervision The Continuum of Clinical Professional Development Authority and Decision Making versus Supervision High Physical Diagnosis Clerkship Sub-Internship Graded or Progressive Responsibility Internship Residency Low Low Authority and Decision Making Fellowship Attending High

ACGME Goal for Milestones - Permits fruition of the promise of Outcomes Based Accreditation Tracks what is important - Outcomes Begins using existing tools and observations of the faculty Clinical Competency Committee triangulates progress of each resident ABMS Board has the opportunity to track the identified individual ACGME Review Committee tracks unidentified individuals trajectories ACGME and ABMS are able to provide accountability for effectiveness of educational program in producing outcomes, and achieved outcomes of individual trainees ACGME can work with AAMC to improve graduation level preparation
Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education The Next Accreditation System This article (10.1056/NEJMsr1200117) was published on February 22, 2012, at NEJM.org.
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
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
The Conceptual Change From The Current Accreditation System Rules Corresponding Questions Correct or Incorrect Answer Citations and Accreditation Decision Rules Corresponding Questions Correct or Incorrect Answer Citation and Accreditation Decision
The Conceptual Change To The Next Accreditation System Continuous Observations Assure that the Program Number of Potential Fixed the Problem Related Rules Problems Promote Innovation Diagnose the Problem If there is one!

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
Resident frequently fails to recognize or actively avoids opportunities for compassion or empathy. On occasion demonstrates lack of respect, or overt disrespect for patients, family members, or other members of the health care team Professionalism Unprofessional Resident seeks out opportunities to demonstrate compassion and empathy in the care of all patients; and demonstrates respect and is sensitive to the needs and concerns of all patients, family members, and members of the health care team. Resident demonstrates compassion and empathy in care of some patients, but lacks the skills to apply them in more complex clinical situations or settings. Occasionally requires guidance in how to show respect for patients, family members, or other members of the health care team.

Resident Survey 3 Year Trends in Three Programs
Next Accreditation System Seven specialties/rrc s begin training 7/2012 Pediatrics Internal Medicine Diagnostic Radiology Emergency Medicine Orthopedic Surgery Neurological Surgery Urological Surgery Sponsor Visit Program begins 9/2012 The Next Accreditation System begins 7/2013 These seven specialties go live 7/2013 The remaining specialties begin training 7/2013 All specialties/rrc s using the Next Accreditation System 7/2014 Visits to IRC and all 7 RRC s this Spring
Institutional Implications Programs Standardized evaluations of residents Increased entry of data points relative to resident education GME centralized reporting Metrics will focus upon more continuous outcomes measures Many will be common to all programs Some will be unique to individual programs Standardization of GME processes Site visits and Internal Reviews will be phased out Increased reliance upon annual reviews, metric reporting
