Agenda Management

Accurately timed agendas are very important for calculating credit/contact hour calculations. Breaks, meals, award ceremonies, etc, do not receive credit/contact hours so an accurate and organized timed agenda must be part of all management protocols. AXIS knows the requirements of all certifying bodies and regulatory agencies in this regard. For example, some accrediting bodies do not permit credits/contact hours in 0.25 increments, and a few accrediting bodies use a “50-minute hour” to calculate a final credit/contact hour amount. AXIS can help you build your agenda to ensure that your event receives a maximum number of credits/contact hours.

Commercial Support Documentation/Management

An ineligible company is defined by the ACCME, ACPE, and ANCC as any entity whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients. For specific examples of ineligible companies visit accme.org/standards. If you receive support (dollars) from an ineligible company, AXIS will help you manage the specific processes and protocols, including a letter of agreement (LOA), to document this information.

Faculty Collaboration

AXIS will be the hub between you and your faculty to ensure that all parties understand their responsibilities and obligations regarding the planning, implementation, and evaluation of certified education. AXIS will create an information packet for all faculty to review and return, including:

• Checklist with due dates for all materials
• Faculty information form
• Biographical data form
• Financial disclosure form

In addition, when a multi-day, multi-session conference is being planned, AXIS will help you manage the list of multiple speaker requirements that many accrediting bodies and agencies require.

Content Development and Measurable Objectives

Partnering with your faculty to create a robust activity is a critical task. There are very specific information requirements that must be captured and communicated correctly when developing certified education. AXIS will help ensure all the little details of the activity—title of activity, location, dates, description, evidence of educational need, measureable learning objectives—are in place.

Here is a helpful resource on how to write well-written and measurable learning objectives.

Marketing

AXIS will provide you with a checklist outlining requirements for all marketing materials, advertising, and web postings (sometimes called the activity "front matter"). This required information must be clearly communicated in these materials.
