CME Enterprise is on a mission to create learner-centered interventions anchored in the art and science of medicine that advance clinical competence resulting in optimal patient care.

Why are we different?

1.      WE INVEST IN OUR PEOPLE.

• President and Compliance Officer Bruce Bellande, PhD, FACME, CCMEP, is a respected leader, frequent presenter, and has a solid understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing CME.
• Department managers have worked together at CME Enterprise for over 7 years, which attests to our stability, cohesiveness, and adaptability.
• An aggressive internal continuous professional development program ensures our commitment to compliance, pursuit of certifications, and performance improvement aligned with Alliance competencies.
  • 77% of our staff will have received Yellow Belts through Lean Six Sigma (LSS) training by the end of 2009.
  • 95% of our staff will have completed the 36-hour Project Management Institute (PMI) training course by the end of 2009.
  • Additional staff are pursuing CCMEP certification.

2.       WE ENSURE PROCESS OPTIMIZATION.

• Process optimization and efficiencies are achieved through continuous quality improvement and application of LSS and PMI principles.
• Adoption of Six Disciplines strategies and directives enables us to strategize, plan, organize, execute, measure, and learn to best serve our constituents, resulting in deliberate business excellence.

3.      WE EMBRACE NOVEL PROJECTS.

• We seek opportunities to share our LSS competence by including systems quality improvement components into educational interventions.
• We pursue and participate in unique collaborations including AREA (Antimicrobial Resistance Education Alliance) and CS2day (Cease Smoking Today, a nine-partner multiyear initiative to decrease the number of persons who smoke through tailored educational offerings and resources ranging from conferences and print materials to television formats, hand-held tools, and performance improvement projects; CS2day received the 2009 Award for Collaboration in CME from the Alliance for CME).
• Staff niche expertise allows us to provide nontraditional services including consultation, specialty association support, and research- and evaluation-based projects.

These key differentiators translate into unique benefits for our constituents, particularly high quality, effectiveness, and compliance.
