Maintenance of Certification (MOC) is one way physicians demonstrate to the public that they are competent to deliver safe, high-quality medical care. The authors conducted a qualitative content analysis of information from 24 Member Boards of the American Board of Medical Specialties. A constant comparative approach was used to categorize themes of quality and safety and related concepts. All Boards (24/24) had public websites with formal documents and 23/24 had at least 1 representative respond to a survey. Sixty-three percent (15/24) of Boards had a patient safety requirement, and 96% (23/24) of Boards had a quality improvement requirement. Nearly all Boards incorporate quality improvement and most incorporate patient safety, but their assessment methods and level of inclusion on the topic vary. Sharing methods of incorporating quality and safety among certifying Boards will allow Member Boards to cater to the evolution of the MOC landscape and benefit from other Boards' experiences.

Worldwide medical device embedded software certification practices are currently focused on manufacturing best practices. In Brazil, the national regulatory agency does not hold a local certification process for software-intensive medical devices and admits international certification (e.g. FDA and CE) from local and international industry to operate in the Brazilian health care market. We present here a product-based certification process as a candidate process to support the Brazilian regulatory agency ANVISA in medical device software regulation. Center of Strategic Technology for Healthcare (NUTES) medical device embedded software certification is based on a solid safety quality model and has been tested with reasonable success against the Class I risk device Generic Infusion Pump (GIP).

As an evaluation scheme, we propose certifying for "control", as alternative to "interruption", of Chagas disease transmission by native vectors, to project a more achievable and measurable goal and sharing good practices through an "open online platform" rather than "formal certification" to make the key knowledge more accumulable and accessible.

The adaptation of the 10x10 certificate program in health information systems for a Puerto Rican audience is described. The 10x10 program was initially developed in the USA by the Oregon Health Sciences University (OHSU), then adapted to Latin America by Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires. Puerto Rico is in the intersection of the United States and Latin America, in terms of government, health care system, culture and language. Therefore, it seemed reasonable to re-adapt the program back to the USA, in Spanish, taking into account these facts and the experience of the team in delivering blended learning adapted to local needs. Forty professionals from Puerto Rico are currently taking the first version of the course, supported by the Regional Extension Center for Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands, and endorsed by the American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA).

OBJECTIVE: Since diplomates of the American Board of Pediatrics with permanent certificates will not be required to participate in the Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program, we determined the perceptions of permanent certificate holders about MOC and their degree of interest in participation. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a 12-item mail survey of 1693 diplomates with permanent certificates. Frequency distributions were calculated for all survey items. chi(2) statistics were used to explore associations between the variables. RESULTS: The response rate was 77.7%. Less than one-third of generalist respondents (28%, n = 122) and 13% of subspecialists (n = 63) agreed that they would be willing to participate in general pediatrics MOC (P < .0001). However, approximately half the subspecialists (48%, n = 221) agreed that they would be willing to participate in subspecialty MOC. Approximately three-fourths of generalists (79%, n = 354) and subspecialists (74%, n = 338) disagreed that MOC is necessary for keeping up-to-date in clinical pediatrics. Few respondents believed that parents understand the MOC program. CONCLUSION: A wide range of attitudes and perceptions about MOC exists among holders of permanent certificates. Concerns about the importance of MOC to parents and the usefulness of MOC participation in improving quality of care will need to be addressed.
