Our Mission

The OCE at CFMC offers flexibility in cost, convenience, and customization that is often faster and less expensive than internal and other external programs. The approach is straightforward and efficient. The OCE joint sponsors with non-accredited entities based on their individual needs to ensure that their objectives are met on time. The OCE helps joint sponsors achieve their vision, while strictly adhering to accreditation requirements and standards.

All topics are considered for CE activities. Quality improvement is the primary interest. CFMC is in the unique position of having access to state and national databases that generate patterns of care in order to identify problematic clinical issues.

The CE program enhances the ability of health care professionals to improve clinical outcomes for patients. Evidence-based activities produce measurable results and ongoing quality improvement. All attendees make subjective assessments through individual evaluations. Results of these quality improvement studies and of participant evaluation responses are compiled and used to update needs assessment materials, forecast future continuing education activities and improve content and format development.
