Meeting AT A GLANCE

CME Information (continued)

AANA implements strategies to ensure these standards are met. The Program and Education Committee members provide disclosure information prior to planning the educational program and recuse themselves if a conflict is present in relation to the subject matter presented. When developing the program, the committee members review abstracts and conflict of interest disclosure forms, needs assessment/gaps/evaluation data, and past speaker/session scores. Potential speakers are sent guidelines to ensure independence in the development of content and the Compliance Committee reviews the content and disclosures and resolves any conflicts prior to presentation. Content Validation

AANA educational activities are developed to promote improvements in health care delivery and not to promote a specific proprietary interest or commercial interest. Presentations should reflect the latest in scientific methods generally accepted by the medical community at-large,

evidence-based and discuss the validity of the evidence upon which they base the opinion(s). This ensures the audience that the recommendations are supported by the evidence and contributes to the management of any potential conflicts of interest. If the presentation contains discussion of unlabeled use of a commercial product, this must also be disclosed to the participants. Use of generic names should also be used where possible to contribute to the impartiality. If trade names are included, several names from different companies should also be used.

Evaluation and Outcomes Measurement

AANA employs several methods of evaluation to assess the CME activity effectiveness. Evaluations are provided to session directors, speakers, attendees and Speaker Managers to assess the educational content, delivery and speaker performance and Conflict of Interest disclosure management. Post course analyses is also conducted three months after the CME activity to determine if changes in behavior as a result of the learning activity have been

implemented and maintained.

Evaluations are reviewed by the Needs Assessment & Outcomes Committee in addition to Speaker Manager evaluations to determine the effectiveness of the AANA Conflict of Interest Policy. Any speakers identified as violating the policy may not be invited to participate in future educational programs.

Disclaimer Statement

The methods, techniques, and procedures demonstrated and views and opinions expressed by speakers, presenters and faculty are their own and do not necessarily represent those of the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA), nor does presentation on the program represent or constitute endorsement or promotion by AANA.

AANA expressly disclaims any warranties or guaranties, expressed or implied, and shall not be liable for damages of any kind in connection with the material, methods, information, techniques, opinions or procedures expressed, presented or demonstrated.
