Overall program evaluation

We are a jointly accredited institution and are just now moving toward Ethos as an LMS. This is the first time that we are using an online tool, and one of the documents we are redesigning is the overall program evaluation. Would anyone out there who is jointly accredited or ACCME accredited share examples of how you are presenting the required questions? Thanks!

Hi, Marion! I think it depends on what you mean by “required questions.” If you’re talking about bias, we have one question with a follow-up if they answer yes:

Did you detect any commercial bias in this activity? *
Yes
No
No Answer

If you detected bias, please describe the biased content:

We use the same process as Gail mentioned.
We have the yes no checkbox with a free form box for them to identify what the bias was.

Our evaluation is very long because we have the joint accreditation, but are also accredited providers for several other groups so in order to fit all the requirements for all of them into one evaluation it’s become a bit unruly.
