ACCME Definitions: Gap: The difference between actual and ideal performance and/or patient outcomes. In patient care, the quality gap is the difference between present treatment success rates and those thought to be achievable using best practice guidelines. Closing the Quality Gap: A Critical Analysis of Quality Improvement Strategies. Fact Sheet. AHRQ Publication No. 04-P014, March 2004. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Rockville, MD. http://www.ahrq.gov/clinic/epc/qgapfact.htm Since CME content is meant to address the needs of all physicians, it includes direct and indirect patient care. Therefore, the ACCME is using professional practice gap to refer to a quality gap in areas that include but also can go beyond patient care (e.g., systems base practice, informatics, leadership and administration). Need: The identified professional practice gap of the learner can be based on a range of needs. One such need includes knowledge that is the range of one s information or understanding, the sum of what is known. A physician s knowledge comes from previous education, experiences, and is also obtained through sources such as the medical literature, lectures, and conversations with peers. For example, understanding the various classes of antibiotics, the names within each drug class, and those organism for which a particular antibiotic is or isn t effective is knowledge. How is knowledge measured? For further clarification, please see the ACCME article, Defining Knowledge, Competence, Performance, and Patient Outcomes, on the Continuing Medical Education website, med.cmich.edu/cme under CME Application Documents - Reference Materials. What is the educational need that you determined to be the underlying cause of the professional practice gap(s): Knowledge need Competence need Performance need Based on the educational needs selected above, describe/define each gap: Describe what this CME activity is designed to change in terms of learners' knowledge, competence, and/or performance: What sources were used to support the gap(s) / need(s) assessment (please attach documentation): Expert Needs Participant Needs Observed Needs Environment Clinical practice guidelines Needs Assessment Survey Medical records analyses Public health initiatives New diagnoses / treatment methods Focus panel discussion/ interviews Database analyses QA audit data/analyses Government regulations/mandates Professional society guidelines Previous related evaluation Morbidity & Mortality data Industry press summary Epidemiological data Peer-reviewed literature Other physician requests National clinical guidelines Research findings Which of the following competencies are applicable to this CME activity: ACGME/ABMS Competencies Institute of Medicine Competencies Interprofessional Education Collaborative Competencies Patient Care and Procedural Skills Provide patient-centered care Values/Ethics for Interprofessional Practice Medical Knowledge Work in interdisciplinary teams Roles/Responsibilities Practice-based Learning and Improvement Interprofessional Communication Employ evidence-based practice Interpersonal and Communication Skills Apply quality improvement Teams and Teamwork Professionalism Utilize informatics Systems-based Practice Page 3 of 8 Revised November 2017
