COMPETENCE ASSESSMENTS, EDUCATIONAL INTERVENTIONS,AND POST EDUCATION EVALUATIONSThe Center for Personalized Education for Physicians (CPEP), formed in 1990 as a nonprofit resource, provides a consistent and qualitative means of addressing performance concerns related to practicing physicians and other healthcare professionals.
Since that time, over 900 physicians representing 47 specialties have benefited from this nationally-recognized alternative to punitive procedures or adversarial action. Referring organizations include state medical boards, hospitals, medical groups, physician health programs, health attorneys, and disability insurers. Self-referred physicians can also participate. The CPEP approach to physician evaluation and assessment of competence and performance issues is based on three major components that parallel the three-part medical model of assessing needs, designing and implementing an intervention, and then evaluating its effectiveness. Competence AssessmentThis in-depth assessment is tailored to the physician’s specialty and practice, and provides detailed information about clinical competence in the areas of medical knowledge, clinical reasoning, documentation, communications, and cognitive function—while also identifying areas of educational need.Educational InterventionBased on the assessment, a highly personalized physician educational plan is developed from a broad range of learning resources and measured through patient case review and regular compliance monitoring.Post-Education EvaluationThis critical follow-up enables the physician to demonstrate clinical performance improvements and the successful application of new knowledge within the areas of educational focus.SeminarsIn addition, CPEP offers continuing medical education seminars in documentation and communications. These specialized courses are characterized by small-group interaction, practice-based skills, and a high level of personalization and individual attention. Confidentiality The
