CME Enterprise is an ACCME-accredited provider whose mission is 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 8 years, which attests to our stability, cohesiveness, and adaptability.
• Our aggressive continuous professional development program has been recognized by the Alliance for Continuing Medical Education with its 2010 Award for Innovation in CPD and by the North American Association of Medical Education and Communication Companies for Best Practice in Professional Development. This program, required of all staff, ensures our commitment to compliance, pursuit of certifications, and internal performance improvement aligned with Alliance competencies.
  • Three of our staff have attained CCMEP certification, with more to come.
  • More than three-quarters of our staff have received Yellow or Green Belts through Lean Six Sigma (LSS) training.
  • Nearly all of our staff have completed the 36-hour Project Management Institute (PMI) training course.
  • All of our staff have individualized learning plans and curricula.

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, such as in "A Bridge to Quality: Engaging Continuing Education and Quality Improvement Professionals in Healthcare Quality Improvement,"   a joint project with the Indiana University School of Medicine that includes interactive train-the-trainer workshops, supplemental materials, a Web portal and community of practice, and a research component.
• We pursue and participate in unique collaborations including AREA (Antimicrobial Resistance Education Alliance) and CS2day (Cease Smoking Today, a 9-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 and the North American Association of Medical Education and Communication Companies' award for Best Practice in Collaboration Among CME Stakeholders in 2010).
• 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.
