Agenda

• ACC and CECity Overview• Lifelong Learning & Learning Portfolio

– Concepts– What, Why & How

• A Vision In Practice • Partnerships, Technology, and Standards• Implementation• Demonstration• Challenges & Benefits• Questions/Comments

ACC Overview

• The mission of the American College of Cardiology is to advocate for quality cardiovascular care—through education, research promotion, development and application of standards and guidelines—and to influence health care policy

• Founded 1949• 37,000+ Members

4

CECity Overview

• CECity is the world’s leading SaaS (Software as a Service) provider of online healthcare education, outcomes, and performance improvement technologies & distribution networks

• Experienced Management Team– Broad healthcare, CME, association, pharmacy, managed care,

performance assessment & improvement, six sigma, and technology experience

• CECity is not a Content Provider– No Content Creation

– No Content Accreditation

• CECity is not a web destination– Technology is branded and focused on our partner not CECity

5

Business Case

• No single system could provide the member, or ACC, with a complete picture of the member’s education activities

• No linkage between education, competencies, certification, quality, outcomes, and reimbursement opportunities (P4P)

• Not leveraging ACC data products, like NCDR™, as part of overall performance improvement strategy

• External Influences – Emphasis On Competency, Quality Performance And Patient-centered Care

The Concept

• Provide a Lifelong Learning Portfolio to ACC Members– From Fellowship to Emeritus (F2E)

• Deliver seamless access for members to multiple products (ACC and non-ACC) across multiple systems

• Integrate with the new Cardiosource.org site launching in June 2010• Meld Practice & Quality Improvement With Educational Content

– Utilizes Data That Are Trusted By The Learner

– Links Learners To Competency-based Curricula To Assess Individual & Peer Competence, Gaps & Performance

– Provides Awareness For The Lifelong Learner

• Facilitate The Ability To Engage Lifelong Learning• Support Certification & Licensure

– Easy access to products that offer MOC and MOL

How

Level 1: Simple website, blogs, wikis

Level 5: Industry and standards. Inter-operability, cross-institution sharing

Level 4: Integrated. Portfolios are integratedinto the process of instruction and assessment

Level 3: Institution-sponsored

Level 2: Dynamic, database driven. Central artifact pool is usedto create different representations based on learner need

Levels 1 & 2provide the greatest value for the learner

Levels 3 & 4 provide value for the institution and faculty

Level 5 provides health andsustainability to the industry

Partnerships, Technology, and Standards

• Platforms & Partners– ACC Association Management System - iMIS – Sitecore Enterprise CMS

• Sitecore Consultants

– CME360 from CECity– Lifetime from CECity

• 3rd Party Content Providers (initial list)– ACCardio– Medcases– MedIQ– Clinical Care Options

Challenges & Benefits

• Challenges– Adoption To Become

Part Of Daily Activities– Not All Competencies

Are Quantitative– Utilizing Aggregate or

System Data– Incorporating “Quality”

Into Learning Process

• Benefits– Comprehensive,

Discoverable, Targeted, Integrated

– Inter- and Intra-Organizational Collaboration

– Process Of Standardization (Moving to Level 5)
