Program Focus |
Accreditation Focus |
| Programs must provide learning opportunities in all six competency domains and improve evaluation processes as needed. Programs should also provide aggregate resident performance data for Internal Review. |
Evidence is reviewed that programs are teaching and addressing the competencies. The ACGME will provide constructive citations early and transition to consequential citations later in phase. The
Internal Review should include aggregate resident performance data.

Phase 3

|
Program Focus |
Accreditation Focus |
| Programs should use resident performance data as basis for improvement.
Programs should also begin to use external measures like patient surveys, and clinical quality measures to verify resident and program performance |
Evidence is provided that programs are making data driven improvements.
External program performance indicators and input from GMEC is reviewed to make sure the program is achieving the educational objectives |
By 2008, residency programs are expected to collect feedback on resident
performance from at least one source external to the residency program
such as patients and their families, other specialists with whom they have
consulted, members from other specialties, or employers.
The ACGME encourages programs and institutions to move forward with
data collection that indicates resident performance of condition-specific,
evidence-based patient care processes and, where appropriate, outcomes
of providing care (e.g. surgical complication rate, scores on validated
functional outcome questionnaires, percentage patients who stopped
smoking or loss weight following counseling or other resident-initiated
intervention).
