Since 1999, Risk Management Foundation of the Harvard Medical Institutions (RMF) has developed online education courses for clinicians in the area of health care risk management. The courses are evidence-based, which means that the curriculum development is driven by real trends in malpractice claims.
Using CME Online, clinicians benefit from real time distance learning in the area of clinical risk management at their individual pace, convenience and relevant specialty. They learn to reduce risk, improve safety, and can earn 2 Category I CME credits toward the AMA PRA physician award for each course taken through the American Society of Law, Medicine, and Ethics (ASLME).
You can view the current library by visiting www.rmfcme.com. Each course is case-based, using HIPAA-compliant composites of actual closed claim files. The courses are designed by our loss prevention experts using input from world leaders in the field of patient safety for each clinical specialty.
CME Online courses can be licensed through RMF Strategies and made available to your insured physicians through a customized web page. Physicians maintain their own course history and print immediate CME credits through the "My Account" section of the site.
These courses have consistently been rated the highest in terms of quality, usability and relevance, worldwide. As a sponsor of this education, you ll enjoy:
