CONTINUING MEDICAL EDUCATION (CME) LEGISLATION IN THE 115TH CONGRESS

5/7/2018

 
As part of the Coalition’s ongoing monitoring and analysis of legislative opportunities related to CME, the Coalition has reviewed all relevant legislation that has been introduced in the 115th Congress and generated a new document outlining specific bills that prioritize the essential role of CME in improving health outcomes
​This year, the most pressing legislative priority in Congress related to CME has been opioid prescriber education. Recently, the House Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health passed a bill that would direct CMS to work with Quality Improvement Organizations to engage in outreach with prescribers identified as clinical outliers to share best practices. This bill replaced earlier legislation that was under consideration in the Subcommittee, the Opioid PACE Act, which would have required all opioid prescribers to under 12 hours of CME.
