Innoventive System Solutions began providing CE and
CME in March 2003. Occupational
Therapists, Pharmacists, Physicians and other health professionals can earn
hours of CE or CME credit via programs accredited through ISS in person and
online. Additionally ISS is currently beta-testing the myCE program that is a web based
software service which allows medical professionals an easy way to track
required continuing education. This electronic database permits medical
professionals an electronic method to track attained CE/CMEs, while also
reporting information on what is needed to meet their individual state
continuing education requirements.
Registered users will be given access to several features,
including:
CE Tracking: Managing of all continuing medical education
credits at our site. This includes courses taken at our site OR CE from
other sites, monographs and organizations.
License Cycle Tracking - Track multiple license cycles for
different states.
License Requirements - An updated database has been developed
for the individual state board requirements. Users are notified quarterly on
how many hours of continuing education credits are needed to complete said
requirements (including live and required courses).
Additionally ISS Support Services Division builds and
maintains web sites and intranets. It provides customized CE meeting planning
solutions and methods for helping associations provide complete meeting
services to their members. This includes scanable CE formats (for fast CEU
credit issuance) to quality ID card badges for board members, association
members, or meeting attendees.
ISS is committed to improving the state of continuing
medical education (CME) programs for health professionals by:
- Developing
and evaluating innovative approaches to CME
- Promoting
interactive, evidence-based, "problem-solving" CME programs
- Working
with first-tier academic centers and professional societies to enhance
their online education programs
- Performing
peer-reviewed research in medical education, and creating an open
community for suggestions, ideas, and constructive criticism of CME
programs
- The
needs assessment focus is clinical and practical. For example, what does a
practicing physician need to know? What timely and relevant studies have
been reported recently and what do their results tell us? Where can a busy
physician find information and acquire CME credit quickly?
ISS is supported primarily by fees from individual users
and organizations that desire a venue for ethical and quality continuing
education programs for healthcare professionals. Some course development is
supported by grants from healthcare organizations, and these sources of support
are always identified on the course information page. ISS only offers
courses supported by educational grants from pharmaceutical or device companies
once a complete an independent needs assessment has been completed by our
autonomous panel of physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and other medical
professionals.
