  1. CME Compliance: Evaluation Measuring the educational outcomes of your activity is an essential part of the Plan, Do, Study, Act cycle: One of the most important aspects of any CME activity is evaluation, or outcomes measurement.

  2. CME Compliance: Evaluation Some examples of effective evaluation methods are: Pre and post-tests Post-activity evaluation forms Informal polling at the activity (show of hands, audience response systems) Follow-up surveys

  3. CME Compliance: Evaluation Evaluations are designed to collect data about: • Whether the learning objectives have been met • How participation will impact the physician’s abilities and/or strategies, help modify his/her practice, and lead to improved patient outcomes • The faculty’s knowledge and presentation skills • The quality of the educational design and format • How well the activity met the learners’ needs • If the audience perceived any commercial bias in the presentations

  4. CME Compliance: Evaluation At LSU School of Medicine, we typically use the following method: The CME office generates evaluation forms through Survey Monkey, a web based evaluation tool which allows for results to be analyzed and reported to the Activity Medical Director shortly after an activity ends. Evaluations can be completed on paper or online.

  7. CME Compliance: Evaluation Evaluations distributed and collected on paper at each activity are manually entered into Survey Monkey so that all feedback can be analyzed and reported to activity directors and planners quickly.

  8. CME Compliance: Evaluation • Outcomes are very important to LSU’s continued CME accreditation and an important part of our ongoing educational planning process and used to track the overall effectiveness of the CME program to ensure we are meeting our mission. • Therefore, evaluation return rates are continually monitored by the CME office.

  9. CME Compliance: Evaluation How you can use the evaluation results: • Survey Monkey compiles the results of your evaluation data, and the CME office sends you a summary of these results. • Monitor your program’s attendance • Send feedback to presenters • Customize the evaluation for the activity or group • Feedback to share with your overall educational program/faculty/resident evaluation

  10.

  13. CME Compliance: Evaluation Post-Test: Evaluation True or False: Evaluation data is used to track the overall effectiveness of the CME program to ensure we are meeting our mission. True: Many of the questions asked on evaluations are designed to measure whether activities are successfully meeting specific educational goals as outlined by the ACCME and the LSU CME Mission Statement.

  14. CME Compliance: Evaluation Post-Test: Evaluation True or False: Evaluation forms must be completed on paper.

  15. CME Compliance: Evaluation Post-Test: Evaluation True or False: Evaluation forms must be completed on paper. False: Evaluations can be completed online via smart phone through the Survey Monkey web site or on paper if they are distributed at the time of the activity. They can also be a show of hands, a live post-activity feedback session, or audience response system.
