Publications

The Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine has endorsed each complete issue of Insights or 30-minutes of podcast episodes as suitable for 0.5 hours of Risk Management Category 1 Study in Massachusetts. You should keep track of these credits the same way you track your Category 2 credits.

• Insight: Each issue of Insight explores a facet of patient safety: the medical malpractice experience—both personal and in aggregate data—and strategies for mitigating risk to both providers and patients.
• Podcasts: Combine for 30-minutes of continuous learning and download to your computer, read as a transcription, or access through iTunes.
• CME Bundles: Content from the approved publications, but in email-trackable, 30 minute packages. You are given an option to send yourself an email reminder of this content and serve as documentation for your CME credits. 
• Tests contain questions drawn from CRICO’s decision support tools. You must score at least 85% and complete the evaluation to receive the allotted AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™ on these tests.
  • Breast Care Management Algorithm Test and Colorectal Cancer Decision Support Tests: get 17 of 20 answers correct and complete the evaluation to receive 1 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™ .
  • Obstetrical Services Guidelines Test: get 43 of 50 answers correct and complete the evaluation to receive 2 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits ™.
