Since 2010, the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME®) has maintained a database, the Program and Activity Reporting System (PARS), as a central repository for information about accredited education providers and their activities. The database has been expanded with the goal of creating an integrated, centralized data system. The ACCME collaboration since 2015 with specialty certifying boards served as a proof of concept that creating a centralized system that facilitates the free flow of data can provide value to physicians and medical regulatory boards. In 2018, ACCME undertook a pilot project that expanded reporting of credit for certifying boards to also include reporting of continuing medical education (CME) credit for 3 state medical licensing boards. Based on the success and lessons learned from the pilot, the ACCME decided to invest in building a new version of PARS to include any state medical licensing boards that chose to use the data. Launched in November 2021, the new PARS enables accredited organizations to enter CME credit data for all US physicians. Physicians may access their data via CMEPassport.org. By leveraging the power of a common database, regulatory bodies can demonstrate accountability, integrity, and transparency; reduce burdens on physicians; facilitate physicians’ commitment to lifelong learning; transform the perception of CME from a checkbox exercise to a currency for change; and contribute to advancing clinician practice and healthcare improvement for patients and communities throughout the country.

The COVID-19 public health emergency required US states to respond rapidly on regulatory issues, including the process for licensing healthcare practitioners. At least 45 states enacted some form of a licensure waiver, enabling practitioners to temporarily work across state lines. We conducted 22 interviews with national and local (New Jersey) licensure stakeholders in September and October 2021 to capture perceptions of how emergency licensure impacted access to care. Five themes emerged: (1) Emergency licensing helped shift the nation’s healthcare workforce supply into regions and specialties of high need; (2) Expanded telehealth capacities complemented emergency licensure programs; (3) Concerns about care quality were mitigated by the urgency of the pandemic, credentialing processes, and investigative authorities; (4) Relocation packages and the need to replace staff could lead to higher costs of care; and (5) Views on licensure reciprocity and interstate compacts were favorable, but smaller provider organizations need to be protected. Overall, stakeholders perceived emergency licensure as successful in expanding access to care during the pandemic. Findings suggest that stakeholders view interstate licensure compacts more favorably now than pre-COVID. While stakeholders may be in favor of licensure reciprocity, they raised concerns about its feasibility, cost, and quality.
