Spend :01 of your time each Monday morning as Twelve:01 delivers timely tools, trends, strategies, and/or compliance insights for the CME/CE enterprise.
OpenEvidence and Johns Hopkins Medicine announced a collaboration on October 13 to explore how AI may reshape medical education and clinical care. The organizations plan to develop an educational model that combines adaptive AI systems with foundational science, evidence-based medicine, clinical reasoning, diagnostic skills, and interpersonal care. They also intend to develop systems that synthesize medical evidence alongside a patient’s history and clinical practices established at Johns Hopkins. For CME/CE professionals, the announcement reflects a broader shift: faster access to information may place greater educational emphasis on interpreting evidence, applying context, and exercising clinical judgment. The collaboration is newly announced, so its specific educational formats, evaluation methods, and outcomes have not yet been reported.
Under ACCME’s Accreditation with Commendation criterion, “Utilizes Support Strategies,” providing a reminder, app, resource guide, online material, or other adjunct to accredited CME/CE is only part of the requirement. The accredited provider must also periodically analyze whether each strategy was effective and show how the strategy evolved following that analysis. Providers may examine effectiveness through measures such as downloads, access data, learner feedback, or other evidence connected to the strategy’s intended purpose. The ACCME expects the analysis to occur at least once for each strategy during the accreditation term. To attest to this criterion, a provider must demonstrate it in at least 10% of its activities during the term, with a minimum of two activities.
ECRI’s September 16, 2026, article highlights care transitions as critical points of vulnerability, particularly for patients with chronic conditions who receive care across multiple settings and clinicians. It attributes preventable harm to systemic weaknesses rather than individual clinical failures (e.g., unclear accountability, inconsistent discharge documentation, fragmented health records, and inadequate communication). In an analysis of 10,000 safety events, ECRI found that 73% of medication reconciliation errors occurred during admission, discharge, or transfer, underscoring the importance of accurate medication information across settings. These findings can inform interprofessional education focused on shared accountability for handoffs and patient–caregiver communication.
