4 Dr. Joseph P. Drozda, Jr., MD, FACC ABIM S MOC PROCESS: BACKGROUND & 2014 CHANGES

5 ABMS & ABIM All 24 of the medical boards that comprise the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS) are in the process of implementing a more continuous approach to Maintenance of Certification To meet new requirements outlined by ABMS, the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) is changing its MOC program ABMS and ABIM believe that a more continuous MOC program helps you keep pace with the changes in the science of medicine and assessment

6 ARS Question #1 Are you currently enrolled in ABIM s Maintenance of Certification process? 1 YES 2 NO

7 ARS Question # 2 Have you completed any Part IV (performance improvement) activity? 1 YES 2 NO

8 ARS Question # 3 Are you or your institution a participant in one of the NCDR (National Cardiovascular Data Registries)? 1 One registry 2 More than one registry 3 Do not participate in any registries 4 Don t know

9 ACC s Role 1. Interpret ABIM s materials that describe their new MOC program and communicate the key themes to our members 2. Provide educational products and other support that help our members to: Study for ABIM s Cardiovascular Disease MOC exam ( the Boards ) Secure Self-Evaluation of Medical Knowledge credits (MOC Part II) Undertake Self-Evaluation of Practice Assessment modules (MOC Part IV)

10 Certification Process Up to 2006 Pre Certification Secure exam after completing fellowship Lifetime certification with NO end date Recertification Secure exam after completing fellowship Time-limited certification WITH an end date Recertification exam every 10 years

11 Maintenance of Certification Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Secure exam after completing fellowship Time-limited certification with an end date Maintenance of Certification exam every 10 years Completion of: Self-Evaluation of Medical Knowledge Modules Self-Evaluation of Practice Assessment Modules

12 Components of MOC: Licensure and Professional Standing (aka Part I) Proof of current and active state license Self-Evaluation of Medical Knowledge (aka Part II) Live or on-line educational activities Cognitive Expertise / Secure Examination (aka Part III) Pass Board Exam Self-Evaluation of Practice Assessment (aka Part IV) Approved quality improvement module

13 MOC Points: Points Every 10 years Part II = Self-Evaluation of Medical Knowledge modules Part IV = Self-Evaluation of Practice Assessment modules

14 MOC 2014 AND BEYOND

15 MOC 2014 and Beyond Maintenance of Certification Changes Two Separate Designations: 1. Board Certified 2. Meeting MOC Requirements Certification represents passing initial exam Meeting MOC Requirements is a new and separate obligation

16 What Will Be New in 2014 MOC now applies to all diplomates (including grandparents) 100 MOC points now have to be secured on a 5 year cycle with some activity required every 2 years Patient Safety & Patient Survey requirements 20 MOC points awarded for every first exam attempt within each specialty

17 MOC Points 2014 Complete an MOC activity every 2 years Earn total of 100 points every 5 years 20 points Part II 20 points Part IV 20 points Either Part II, III or IV 20 points Either Part II, III or IV 20 points Either Part II, III or IV Patient Safety Module Patient Survey Module Part II = Self-Evaluation of Medical Knowledge Part III = MOC secure exam Part IV = Self-Evaluation of Practice Assessment

18 New Patient Safety & Patient Survey Requirements Patient Safety Some ABIM MOC modules currently meet this requirement ABIM will be adding more options in the future ABIM is developing a process so that diplomates can use patient safety activities at their institution to meet this requirement Patient Survey Some of ABIM s existing Performance Improvement Modules (PIMs) [Part IV activities] include patient surveys ABIM will offer options to meet requirement without doing a full PIM ABIM is developing a process so that diplomates can use patient survey activities at their institution to meet this requirement

19 If You Certified Prior to 1990 ( Grandparents ) 1. Starting January 2014, new MOC requirements apply to you 2. To be reported as Meeting MOC Requirements : Enroll in the MOC program by March 31, 2014 Complete an MOC activity to earn MOC points every 2 years Earn 100 MOC points every 5 years Complete patient survey & patient safety modules every 5 years Pass ABIM s Cardiovascular Disease MOC Examination ( the Boards ) by December 31, 2023 (10 years) 3. Your initial certification in Cardiovascular Disease does not expire. You will remain certified whether or not you are Meeting MOC requirements. However, if you choose not to undertake all required MOC activity, you will be reported as Certified. Not Meeting MOC Requirements.

20 If You Are In A 10-Year MOC Cycle 1. Starting January 2014, new MOC requirements apply to you 2. Finish out your individual 10-year MOC cycles for Parts II & IV, and the MOC exam. Any points earned after January 2014 will apply both to those you need to earn to maintain your existing certification and to be Meeting MOC Requirements 3. To be reported as Meeting MOC Requirements : Enroll in the MOC program (if not currently enrolled in MOC) by March 31, 2014 Complete an MOC activity to earn MOC points every 2 years Earn 100 MOC points every 5 years Complete patient survey & patient safety requirements every 5 years

21 If You Become Newly Certified In/After Starting January 2014, the new MOC requirements apply to you 2. To be reported as Meeting MOC Requirements : Activate your MOC program by March 31, 2014 Complete an MOC activity to earn MOC points every 2 years Earn 100 MOC points every 5 years Complete patient survey & patient safety requirements every 5 years Pass the ABIM Cardiovascular Disease MOC Examination ( The Boards ) every 10 years

22 Sub-Specialty Certification As in previous years, diplomates must still hold a current, valid ABIM certification in Cardiovascular Disease to be eligible for renewal of certification in: Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Interventional Cardiology If you have more than one ABIM certification, all MOC points earned will apply to all certifications you are actively maintaining If you are maintaining certification in Interventional Cardiology, you will need to continue to attest to meeting additional program-specific requirements You will receive 20 MOC points for completion of one MOC exam per certification area being maintained

23 ABIM/ABMS Reciprocal Credit for Dual- Boarded Diplomates ABIM-certified physicians who are maintaining certification through another of the ABMS s 24 member boards (e.g. the American Board of Pediatrics) may be eligible to receive points for Self-Evaluation of Medical Knowledge and Self-Evaluation of Practice Assessment To receive credit, ABIM diplomates will need to attest that they are current and participating in the other Board s MOC program For more information, please call ABIM at ABIM

24 Doctors of Osteopathy (D.O.s) D.O.s must certify with the American Osteopathic Board of Internal Medicine (AOBIM) which introduced new Osteopathic Continuous Certification (OCC) January 1, 2013

50 Enter Performance Data

51 What if My Measures Aren t in the Measures Library? Don t worry you can submit your own measures/metrics to ABIM for approval Requires filling out a simple form Generally requires a few days for approval process Eventually, all NCDR report metrics/measures will be in the ABIM measures library In the short term, some may require submission of this form.

52 Performance Improvement Team Physician(s) Nurse Leader(s) Administrative Leaders Quality Improvement Specialist(s) Coding Specialists

53 How to Develop and Implement an Action Plan Assemble the Performance Improvement team Determine a plan for understanding the reasons for the performance gap Suboptimal clinical care Systems issues Documentation Data abstraction Develop a plan to address these issues Specifics will vary based on your situation! Implement the plan

54 How and When to Re-Measure Re-measure performance using a later period of data to compare to their first cycle of data. Key: AFTER implementing action plan! How often should you re-measure? After you expect to see the impact of the implementation plan Process measures: relatively soon Outcome measures: longer remeasurement period Depends on registry and data availability cycle

70 Other Variables Examined But Not the Major Focus

71 Other Variables Examined Not in NCDR Report Time of day: Day = 7 AM 5 PM Night = 5 PM (Related to scheduling of lab staff and call teams)

72 Analysis Line # Name 2006 n (%) 2007 n (%) 2008 n (%) 1441 STEMI as indication PPCI for STEMI CS <24 h or at start of PPCI 19 (9.4) 23 (11.9) 27 (13.7)

73 D2B Time: Non-Transfer Patients

74 D2B Time: Cardiogenic Shock Patients

75 Mortality Line 2010: Dead; unadjusted, excluding CABG or other major surgery

76 Mortality Cardio. Shock Patients: Unadjusted, no CABG or other major surgery

77 Some Conclusions (Out of Many Others) Process redesign was successful. Largest changes (improvements) were in the sickest patients, STEMI with cardiogenic shock. Many additional insights were acquired along the way! Write up of part of this was submitted for MOC Part IV credit in 2009.
