How Do We Do It
Technology and the Future of CME
Med-IQ's co-CEO Scott Weber and Accela Communications' CEO Bill Reinstein discuss how interactive technologies can be used to measure knowledge gains and behavior changes in healthcare professionals, and improvements in patient outcomes. Video
Med-IQ is tuned in to the frontline perspective of the healthcare community. We maintain regular contact with nearly 30,000 physicians and healthcare professionals from all specialties who help make our content development even more effective.
We identify practice gaps and validate overall program direction through:
- Surveys of the target audience through pre-activity e-mail/telephone questionnaires
- Interviews with faculty and other experts
- Live, in-practice research
To further assess educational needs, we:
- Stay up on current medical and regulatory news
- Carefully read peer-reviewed scientific literature
- Review clinical trial results, and clinical, and specialty society guidelines
Based on our findings, we set measurable objectives geared to your specialty or area of practice.
Finally, we conduct meaningful measurement of the program’s impact through:
- Pre- and immediate post-activity surveys
- 30- to 60-days post-activity surveys
- Overall program evaluation
- Use of control groups in sophisticated study designs
The ultimate result is improved professional competency and patient care.
