The ACGME outcome project: retrospective and prospective

Swing, Susan R.·2007·Medical Teacher

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education began an initiative in 1998 to improve resident physicians' ability to provide quality patient care and to work effectively in current and evolving healthcare delivery systems. AIMS: This initiative, called the Outcome Project, seeks changes in residency programs that focus education on the competency domains, enhance assessment of resident performance and increase utilization of educational outcomes for improving residents' education. Increased emphasis on educational outcome measures in accreditation is another important goal. RESULTS: A considerable amount of development, dissemination and educational activity has been carried out to support project implementation. Thus far, observed effects include changes to accreditation requirements and information collection and enhancements of the educational environments and curriculum of residency education programs. CONCLUSION: Prospects for meaningful change are good. Further development of assessment methods is needed to advance in-training evaluation of residents and the ACGME goals for utilizing performance data in accreditation and linking education and patient care quality.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
