How AffinityCE Helps Your Government Organization Administer a CME Program
AffinityCE employs the following proven methodologies, processes, and procedures:
Matching Personnel to Contract Requirements. Our project manager reviews the requirements to determine current and backup personnel required for each position in the contract. The PMO has developed a technical approach to provide the proper personnel required to successfully perform this contract. Task Management Plan. We effectively monitor core contract requirements and continue to execute tasks over the life of the contract. Quality Control Planning. The quality control plan is tailored to the improvement of quality improvement process, which involves better communication; improved operational and internal controls; and compliance with required policies, procedures, and regulations. Staff Support and Training. AffinityCE has extensive training materials and tools to assist staff, CME program faculty, activity participants, and administrators. AffinityCE provides a structured process to assist all program participants with fully understanding procedures and requirements for CME-compliant activities. Customer Service. AffinityCE places special emphasis on providing exemplary customer service to all program participants. AffinityCE assistance can be accessed by email, phone, text messaging, or in-person consultation. The AffinityCE team has more than 100 cumulative years of experience in supporting CME activities.
Experienced Continuing Medical Education Team
AffinityCE has exceptionally knowledgeable and qualified personnel to provide project management and contract management. The AffinityCE team employs a group of project managers with stellar experience in managing CME activities. Project managers have a wealth of experience in project management, training, supervision, planning, coordination, and logistical support for CME activities.
AffinityCE’s PMO coordinates strategic operational meetings with our government partners on ongoing or as needed bases. These meetings allow management to provide the operational measurement objectives needed for resources to meet objectives and avoid falling into non-compliance with government-stated performance requirements. The PMO ensures that the team uses direct communications to receive continuous customer and performance feedback.
Safety and Compliance
Project managers ensure that all personnel comply with all safety regulations while working at a government installation. AffinityCE personnel are managed and supervised by the on-site supervisor. Government representatives may provide general instructions on limitations and deadlines; however, our employees will perform tasks independently of government supervision.
The AffinityCE HR department conducts an extensive verification process for each new employee that ensures that academic credentials, licenses, references, previous employment, and salary history for candidates presented to the government are accurate; and that all employees are U.S. citizens.
