The provider collaborated with a state medical association and consulted with a national medical society regarding content and trends for women’s health. Utilizing state-wide initiatives and clinical guidelines developed by the collaborators, the provider aimed to reach obstetricians with a case study format that offers risk management content as a supplement to the clinical guidelines. Case studies offered physician learners ways to improve documentation, identify issues in obstetrics that can affect maternal care, and develop strategies to improve patient outcomes. In another example, the provider collaborated with a regional clinic and a large physician group to address the opioid epidemic through a CME activity where real cases and small group discussions allowed physicians and non-physicians to discuss difficult situations in their own practice while gaining insight from colleagues. Physician learners reported that they would update or consistently use pain management contracts and more cautiously prescribe opioids following the activity.
