Leading Change Together: Supporting Collaborative Practice through Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education
Open accessAbstract
Interprofessional continuing education in support of team-based care is a critical component of healthcare quality and safety. In an effort to develop and advance the field of interprofessional continuing education (IPCE), the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) collaborated to launch Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education™, the first and only accrediting body in the world to offer the opportunity to be simultaneously accredited to provide CE activities for multiple healthcare professions through a single, unified application process, fee structure, and set of accreditation standards. To date, seven additional professions have joined Joint Accreditation: athletic trainers, dentists, dieticians, optometrists, physician associates/physician assistants (PAs), psychologists, and social workers. With this expansion, jointly accredited organisations can choose to offer IPCE for up to ten professions without needing to attain separate accreditations. Jointly accredited providers are able to offer education that is designed for single professions, multiple professions, and interprofessional teams, as long as 25% of the education is interprofessional. This innovation facilitates and incentivises IPCE which leads to improved healthcare delivery and better patient outcomes. To effectively integrate interprofessional collaborative practice throughout healthcare systems across the world, IPCE needs to become an integral part of lifelong learning for all health professions. There are several jointly accredited organisations that operate outside of the USA, and interest in Joint Accreditation and IPCE continues to grow.

Some accreditation programs provide continuing learning to further support diagnostic safety, such as the Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education.
“Therefore, some accreditation programs provide continuing learning to further support diagnostic safety, such as the Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education [355].”
From Toward Safer Diagnoses: A SEIPS-Based Narrative Review of Diagnostic Errors (2026) · cites this paper as [355]
The Introduction (page not provided) identifies Joint Accreditation for Interprofessional Continuing Education as an accrediting body through which providers offer continuing education, and links that education to healthcare quality and safety. It does not specifically address diagnostic safety, so the claim's narrower purpose is not established by this source. (LLM, conf=0.85)

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.
