MANUSCRIPT: Intended Practice Changes and Barriers among Primary Care Providers

In addition, CME providers seeking accreditation with commendation are required to implement educational strategies to remove, overcome or address barriers to physician change. However, current methods to measure intended changes in practice and

ABSTRACT: Commitment to change instrument enhances program planning, implementation, and evaluation.

Abstract INTRODUCTION: This study investigates the use of a commitment to change (CTC) instrument as an integral approach to continuing medical education (CME) planning, implementation, and evaluation and as a means of facilitating physician behavior change. METHODS: Descriptive statistics and grounded theory methods were employed. Data were collected from 20 consecutive CME programs. Physicians

ABSTRACT: Effectiveness of commitment contracts in facilitating change in continuing medical education intervention

Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine whether physicians who committed themselves to making changes in clinical practice following a continuing medical education (CME) course were more likely to change than those not asked to make such a commitment. Physicians participating in a short course in geriatrics were randomly

ABSTRACT: Effects of a signature on rates of change: a randomized controlled trial involving continuing education and the commitment-to-change model.

Abstract PURPOSE: Physicians frequently are asked to sign commitments to change practice, based upon their involvement in continuing medical education (CME) activities. Although use of the commitment-to-change model is increasingly widespread in CME, the effect of signing such commitments on rates of change is not well understood. METHOD: Immediately after a CME session, 110

MANUSCRIPT: Effect of a primary care continuing education program on clinical practice of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: translating theory into practice.

Abstract OBJECTIVES: To describe the development and implementation process and assess the effect on self-reported clinical practice changes of a multidisciplinary, collaborative, interactive continuing medical education (CME)/continuing education (CE) program on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: Multidisciplinary subject matter experts and education specialists used a systematic instructional design approach and collaborated with the

ABSTRACT: Information about barriers to planned change: a randomized controlled trial involving continuing medical education lectures and commitment to change.

Abstract PURPOSE: To determine whether practicing physicians receiving only clinical information at a traditional continuing medical education (CME) lecture (control group) and physicians receiving clinical information plus information about barriers to behavioral change (study group) would alter their clinical behaviors at the same rate. METHOD: In a randomized controlled trial, the investigators matched 13

ABSTRACT: Surgeons don’t know what they don’t know about the safe use of energy in surgery.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Surgeons are not required to train on energy-based devices or document their knowledge of safety issues related to their use. Their understanding of how to safely use the devices has never formally been tested. This study assessed that knowledge in a cohort of gastrointestinal surgeons and determined if key facts

MANUSCRIPT: Promoting networks between evidence-based medicine and values-based medicine in continuing medical education.

Abstract ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In recent years, medical practice has followed two different paradigms: evidence-based medicine (EBM) and values-based medicine (VBM). There is an urgent need to promote medical education that strengthens the relationship between these two paradigms. This work is designed to establish the foundations for a continuing medical education (CME) program
