Standards-based Continuous Quality Leadership SBCQL Initiative Goals  Real-time compliance status and performance trends  Identification of opportunities to achieve excellence at reasonable cost  Adverse trends always addressed using CQI methods  DCI documents always current and available  Ensure continuous compliance with LCME standards

Metrics Standard 1.1: Strategic Planning and Continuous Quality Improvement  A medical school engages in ongoing planning and continuous quality improvement processes that establish short and long-term programmatic goals, result in the achievement of measurable outcomes that are used to improve programmatic quality, and ensure effective monitoring of the medical education program’s compliance with accreditation standards.

Policy Standard 1.2: Conflict of Interest Policies  A medical school has in place and follows effective policies and procedures applicable to board members, faculty members, and any other individuals who participate in decision-making affecting the medical education program to avoid the impact of conflicts of interest in the operation of the medical education program, its associated clinical facilities, and any related enterprises.

Faculty Standard 1.3: Mechanisms for Faculty Participation  A medical school ensures that there are effective mechanisms in place for direct faculty participation in decision-making related to the medical education program, including opportunities for faculty participation in discussions about, and the establishment of, policies and procedures for the program, as appropriate.

Clinical Affiliations Standard 1.4: Affiliation Agreements  In the relationship between a medical school and its clinical affiliates, the educational program for all medical students remains under the control of the medical school’s faculty, as specified in written affiliation agreements that define the responsibilities of each party related to the medical education program. Written agreements are necessary with clinical affiliates that are used regularly for required clinical experiences; such agreements may also be warranted with other clinical facilities that have a significant role in the clinical education program. Such agreements provide for, at a minimum the following:  The assurance of medical student and faculty access to appropriate resources for medical student education  The primacy of the medical education program’s authority over academic affairs and the education/assessment of medical students  Specification of the responsibility for treatment and follow-up when a medical student is exposed to an infectious or environmental hazard or other occupational injury  The shared responsibility of the clinical affiliate and the medical school for creating and maintaining an appropriate learning environment

Bylaws Standard 1.5: Bylaws  A medical school promulgates bylaws or similar policy documents that describe the responsibilities and privileges of its administrative officers, faculty, medical students, and committees.

Regional Accreditation Standard 1.6: Eligibility Requirements  A medical school ensures that its medical education program meets all eligibility requirements of the LCME for initial and continuing accreditation, including receipt of degree-granting authority and accreditation by a regional accrediting body by either the medical school or its parent institution.
