anonymous on 08 Mar 14Key benefits of the NAS include the creation of a national framework for assessment that includes comparison data, reduction in the burden associated with the current process-based accreditation system, the opportunity for residents to learn in innovative programs, and enhanced resident education in quality, patient safety, and the new competencies. Over time, we envision that the NAS will allow the ACGME to create an accreditation system that focuses less on the identification of problems and more on the success of programs and institutions in addressing them.
