Improving Performance
for better Outcomes 

Learning to Give

Leverage Good Works’ brand recognition with clinician audiences, as well as in partnership with association and other non-profit partners,  clinicians have the unique opportunity to participate, learn in an engaging format, and direct donations to charitable causes while consuming practice-relevant education.

We encourage CMS to work collaboratively with ACCME and other stakeholders to continue to simplify clinician engagement in quality improvement by more flexibly recognizing continuous improvement work through accredited CME.

The Benefits of Good Works

Utilizing the Good Works platform allows a CME provider to partner with aligned professional associations, foundations, and other non-profits, to promote accredited and unaccredited activities.

Based on industry-leading engagement and completion rates of 97% across Good Works’ Clinician activities, we believe our platform embodies the spirit of engagement the ACCME strives for.

Good Works creates valuable ‘good will’ for program supporters, participants, and non-profits/patient advocacy organizations. Upon program completion, Good Works will publicize through a press release and appropriate social media outlets, the raised donation amount(s) of all educational programs, to all relevant parties with acknowledgment and recognition of supporter.

Commitment to Excellence

Good Works is committed to ethical collaboration with education partners who provide content development and faculty recruitment for all accredited CME activities on the Good Works CME platform. Our goal is to deliver education that is fair balanced, evidence-based, and scientifically rigorous. We strive to be part of initiatives that promote professional quality improvement, and benefit patient experience and healthcare outcomes. We attest that our corporate organizational structure provides for separation of delivery environment and learner experience between accredited and unaccredited activities.

Direct a Donation

The Good Works CME algorithm informs donation amount based on activity variables, including: Content length, media format, and quality improvement component (if any). 

Donation value can increase or decrease based on attainment of educational goals, providing an added engagement value for clinicians to achieve the best educational outcomes possible, so they may direct the maximum donation amount to the featured charity – or to any charity of their choice. Suggested values will be calculated within each unique proposal submitted to the Commercial Supporter, and any undirected donation amounts will be returned to the CS upon reconciliation. 

The Good Works’ CME platform has a unique and rare opinion from the Office of Inspector General of Health and Human Services,  OIG Opinion No. 08-02, which allows participating clinicians to direct a donation, provided by the accreditor with support from the underwriting entity(ies), to any public 501(c)3 charity of their choice upon completion of the accredited activity.

The OIG defines the activity of the clinician directing of a donation as ‘non-remuneration’ as there is no transfer of value to the clinicians. The OIG opinion is specific to Good Works and Good Works has been awarded 3 patents on the process.
