Transforming physician certification to support physician self-motivation and capacity to improve quality and safety.
The American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) is making strategic investments in the next major evolution of continuous certification. The ABFM is the first certifying board to launch a registry that is designed to support physician capacity for quality assessment, improvement, data-reporting requirements, and population management. The ABFM aims to help physicians maintain the privilege of self-governance by helping them continuously earn it.

Impact of the 2011 ACGME resident duty hour reform on hospital patient experience and processes-of-care.
The investigators evaluated the association between resident duty hour reform and measures of processes-of-care and patient experience. They concluded that the 2011 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education duty hour reform was not associated with improvements in process-of-care and patient experience measures.

Applying mathematical models to predict resident physician performance and alertness on traditional and novel work schedules.
Using a mathematical model of the effects of circadian rhythms and length of time awake on objective performance and subjective alertness, the researchers compared predictions for traditional intern schedules to those that limit work to </= 16 consecutive hours. Their model predicted fewer hours with poor performance and alertness, especially during night-time work hours, for all three novel schedules than for either of the two traditional schedules.

The Armstrong Institute Resident/Fellow Scholars: a multispecialty curriculum to train future leaders in patient safety and quality improvement.
The purpose of the study was to determine if a year-long, multispecialty resident and fellow quality improvement (QI) curriculum was feasible and led to improvements in QI beliefs and self-reported behaviors.

The creation of standard-setting videos to support faculty observations of learner performance and entrustment decisions.
The authors report their experience developing videos that represent five levels of performance for an entrustable professional activities (EPA) for patient handoffs. They describe a process that begins with mapping the EPA to the critical competencies needed to make an entrustment decision. Each competency is then defined by five milestones (behavioral descriptors of performance at five advancing levels).

Using simulation for teaching femoral arterial access: a multicentric collaboration.
The purpose of this paper was to assess the impact of simulation training on complications associated with femoral arterial access obtained by first year cardiology fellows. The authors found that incorporation of simulation in the training of first year fellows was associated with an improvement in proficiency and a clinically meaningful reduction in vascular complications.
