Benefits of a Focus on Program Aims• Suggests a relevant dimension of the program:
• Types of graduates produced for specific community needs, practice settings and roles
• Allows for a more “tailored” approach to creating a learning environment• Focus on specific aims can produce highly desirable graduates
that match patient and healthcare system needs 1
• Enhances the focus on functional capabilities of graduating residents• Fits with a milestones-based approach to assessment

Defining “Opportunities”• Opportunities are external attractive factors that, if acted
upon, will contribute to the program flourishing• What are capabilities for further evolving the program? How can
the program capitalize on them?
• Has there been recent change in the program’s context that creates an opportunity?
• Are these opportunities ongoing, or is there a narrow window for them? How critical is the timing?
![Page 10: The ACGME Self-Study and 10- Year Site Visit 2015 Fall Program Director Retreat September 24, 2015 Alan J. Smith, PhD, MEd Assistant Dean and Director](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e845503460f94b869d6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
© 2015 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
Defining “Threats”• Threats include external factors that affect the program• While the program cannot fully control them, it is
beneficial to have plans to mitigate their effect• What factors beyond the program’s control may place it at risk?
• What are the changes in residents’ specialty choice, regulation, or other factors that may affect the future success of the program?
• Are there challenges or unfavorable trends in immediate context that may affect the program?• E.g., faculty burdened with heavy clinical load that prevents
effective teaching and mentorship

Self-Study Process• Who should conduct the self study?
• Not defined by ACGME
• Members of the Program Evaluation Committee (PEC) are the logical choice
• PEC membership may be expanded (beyond required two faculty members and one resident)
• Data gathering• Many potential sources, including ACGME Resident and Faculty
Surveys, program and institutional data
• Important: stakeholder (residents, faculty and relevant others) participation, input and perspective
• Data as evidence to support conclusions
![Page 13: The ACGME Self-Study and 10- Year Site Visit 2015 Fall Program Director Retreat September 24, 2015 Alan J. Smith, PhD, MEd Assistant Dean and Director](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e845503460f94b869d6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
© 2015 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
Self-Study Data Gathering• Annual Program Evaluation data, ACGME Resident and
Faculty Survey data, other program and institutional data
• Focus on data gathering as a learning experience
• Evaluate strengths and areas for improvement
• Explore opportunities and threats
• Reflect stakeholder (residents, faculty, and relevant others) participation, input, and perspective
• Data as evidence to support conclusions
![Page 14: The ACGME Self-Study and 10- Year Site Visit 2015 Fall Program Director Retreat September 24, 2015 Alan J. Smith, PhD, MEd Assistant Dean and Director](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e845503460f94b869d6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
© 2015 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
Tracking Improvements• Design and implement solutions
• Identify individual or group that will be responsible
• Identify and secure resources
• Timeline
• Follow-up is key: endure all issues addressed• Documentation to facilitate ongoing tracking
• A simple spreadsheet recording improvements achieved and ongoing (See handout 3)
• Record improvements over multiple years
![Page 15: The ACGME Self-Study and 10- Year Site Visit 2015 Fall Program Director Retreat September 24, 2015 Alan J. Smith, PhD, MEd Assistant Dean and Director](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e845503460f94b869d6/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Resident Participation• Resident participation critical:
• They are the beneficiaries of the educational program
• They have first hand knowledge of areas that need improvement
• Double benefit:• Residents help improve their own education
• Resident participation in “educational QI effort” can be used to meet the requirement for resident involvement in quality and safety improvement
![Page 16: The ACGME Self-Study and 10- Year Site Visit 2015 Fall Program Director Retreat September 24, 2015 Alan J. Smith, PhD, MEd Assistant Dean and Director](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e845503460f94b869d6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Truth or Consequences . . .
• Providing an accurate resident / fellow training schedule to the institution is a foundational program responsibility
• Accurate, timely training schedules in E*Value are essential for:• Affiliate billing (over $20M yearly)• CMS/Medicare Reimbursement (over $30M yearly)• Information/Data Integrity with Affiliates & Government
![Page 34: The ACGME Self-Study and 10- Year Site Visit 2015 Fall Program Director Retreat September 24, 2015 Alan J. Smith, PhD, MEd Assistant Dean and Director](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e845503460f94b869d6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
© 2015 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education
The Problem• GME Office must routinely resolve 50-75 missing FTEs at
month-end• Discrepancies and late reporting of Leave of Absences,
vacation days, or changes in training location are rampant• GME dedicating an employee 3-4 full days each month to
audit and resolve schedule omissions, conflicts and mistakes in E*Value
• Unprofessional, embarrassing after-the-fact corrections to affiliate bills are commonplace due to scheduling errors
![Page 35: The ACGME Self-Study and 10- Year Site Visit 2015 Fall Program Director Retreat September 24, 2015 Alan J. Smith, PhD, MEd Assistant Dean and Director](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e845503460f94b869d6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Program Director Support Needed• Ensure that your Program Coordinator / Manager knows
where your people will be training before the rotation begins
• Ensure that training schedules are confirmed and input in E*Value by the 15th of each month
