The LCME site visit is scheduled for Oct. 6-9, 2013. During  the accreditation process, <strong>Hugh  Stoddard, Ph.D.,<\/strong> director and special assistant dean for medical education,  will provide a monthly update on accreditation. Dr. Stoddard is self-study  coordinator for the College of Medicine. Here is this month&rsquo;s item: <\/p>\n<p><strong>Question of the Month: <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>People refer to &ldquo;getting dinged&rdquo; by the LCME.\u00a0 What does that mean?\u00a0 What are the consequences of getting dinged  by the LCME?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After reviewing our submitted documents (August issue of  InterCOM) and the site visitors&rsquo; report, the LCME will make a determination on  each of the 129 standards.\u00a0 Our program  is assigned one of three categories for each standard.\u00a0 The categories used are: <\/p>\n<p><strong>In Compliance <\/strong>\u00a0<br \/>\n  The required  policy, process, resource, or system is in place and, if required by the  standard, there is evidence to indicate that it is effective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In  Compliance, with Monitoring<\/strong>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The  medical education program has the required policy, process, resource, or system  in place, but there is insufficient evidence to indicate that it is effective.  Therefore, monitoring is required to ensure that the desired outcome has been  achieved. OR<\/li>\n<li>The  medical education program is currently in compliance with the standard, but  known circumstances exist that could lead to future noncompliance (formerly <em>area in transition<\/em>).<\/li>\n<li>In short, the  school has identified a problem and a possible solution; however, no data yet  exist about the efficacy of that solution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Non-Compliance<\/strong>\u00a0 <br \/>\nThe medical education program has not met one or  more of the requirements of the standard. The required policy, process,  resource, or system either is not in place or is in place, but has been found  to be ineffective. In other words, the LCME believes there is a serious or  persistent problem for which the school has not found a viable solution.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Getting dinged&rdquo; is a long-standing colloquial expression  for a finding of Non-Compliance. The new category of In Compliance, with  Monitoring was created in 2011 as a means of indicating that the LCME has  concern about an issue but without the possibly severe consequences of a  Non-Compliance finding.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Any standard for which a school is In Compliance, with  Monitoring will entail the school re-evaluating the standard and submitting an  interim progress report prior to the next full accreditation visit. We should  consider any finding of In Compliance, with Monitoring, as well as Non-Compliance,  as a &lsquo;ding.&rsquo;<\/p>\n<p>In making its determination of accreditation, the LCME  weighs the number and severity of standards for which a school has been found  to be Non-Compliant and In Compliance, with Monitoring. There is no threshold  number of &lsquo;dings&rsquo; leading to action by the LCME.\u00a0 Some standards refer to aspects which are  more crucial to the program than others, thus non-compliance with these leads  to more serious consequences.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>The LCME then votes on one of the following actions:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Grant  an accreditation status (typically for 8 years).<\/li>\n<li>Continue  an accreditation status, with or without specifying the term of accreditation.<\/li>\n<li>Continue  accreditation, but place the program on warning. <\/li>\n<li>Continue  accreditation, but place the program on probation.<\/li>\n<li>Deny  accreditation.<\/li>\n<li>Withdraw  accreditation.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Although most programs are granted full re-accreditation, in  recent years there have been a record number of programs placed on probation (4  programs out of 138, as of this writing).\u00a0  Serious consequences to a program that have resulted from the  accreditation process are still rare, but are possible. <\/p>\n<p>Our task over the next 14 months is to generate evidence  that the LCME will use to verify our many accomplishments and address our rare  deficiencies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&rsquo;s Note: The UNMC College of Medicine is currently in the process of seeking reaccreditation through the Liaison Committee on Medical Education (LCME).
