Use discretion in selecting evidence that relates specifically to compliance criteria. CMS does not need to see every sign-in sheet, every completed activity evaluation form, (a summary is better) or faculty CVs. However, all signed written agreements must accompany a list of commercial supporters, if commercial support was received. And disclosure information for all those in control of content is required. Remember that forms and checklists alone do not verify performance in practice. Once you have affixed the to the evidence or coversheet, HIGHLIGHT your demonstration of compliance. One sentence or paragraph within a five-page document may be your demonstration of compliance! It is important that you show how and where you are in compliance! Assembling an Activity File Evidence for each activity selected must be submitted in an 8 ½” by 11” file folder; do NOT submit evidence in binders. Leave pages loose, do not staple or bind. Affix a label on the front cover of the file folder that specifies: Full name of organization (no acronym) Activity title as it appears on the CME Activity List Activity date and location as it appears on the CME Activity List; any variation must be explained Type of activity (Your only choices are Course, Internet Activity Live, Internet Activity Enduring Material, Enduring Material, Journal CME, Journal-based Manuscript Review, Test Item Writing, Committee Learning, Performance Improvement, Learning from Teaching, Internet Searching and Learning, or RSS) Directly or jointly sponsored activity If commercial support was accepted. Enclose the CME Product for Enduring Material Please submit the CME product in its entirety for each Internet, journal-based and/or enduring material CME activity selected. For Internet activities provide a direct link to the online activities or the URL, and a username and password, when necessary. If an Internet activity selected is no longer available online, you may submit the activity saved to CD-ROM or provide access on an archived web site. If surveyors have difficulty accessing the activities or finding the required information, you will be expected to clarify this evidence at the time of the interview. Active URLs, login IDs and passwords must be made available for the duration of your organization’s current accreditation review.
