MYTHS of Keeping Monitoring In-House

VerifyCE

Monitoring of Live Activities


VerifyCE links you to a network of conflict-free subject matter experts to evaluate live and enduring activities for compliance with regulatory standards and professional ethics codes.

Monitoring of CE activities is now a best practice for providers and a standard for grantors. The ACCME requires that providers:

  • Evaluate the effectiveness of CE activities in meeting identified educational needs
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of the overall CE program and make improvements to the program
  • Monitor to ensure compliance and fulfill ACCME Criteria 7 –10 (Independence)

Supporters also must adhere to industry guidelines relative to live meeting education. According to the OIG Compliance Program Guidance for Pharmaceutical Manufacturers:

  • Pharmaceutical manufacturers should have no control over the speaker or content of the educational presentation.
  • Compliance with such procedures should be documented and regularly monitored.
  • Grantors have compliance monitoring systems in place in response to recent requirements of Corporate Integrity Agreements (CIAs).
VerifyCE can help your organization through robust, live event evaluation requirements.
