Declaration of Disclosure for intellyst®
Medical Education
Disclosure and Resolution of
Conflict for Individuals in Control of CME Content
Rationale &
Purpose
intellyst® Medical Education, in
order to comply with the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education (ACCME) Standards for Commercial Support: Standards to Ensure
Independence in CME Activities, seeks
to ensure the disclosure and resolution of conflict for those who have control
over development of CME content. The purpose of this policy is to
achieve objectivity, balance and scientific rigor in every continuing medical
education (CME) activity.
Who Must Disclose
Individuals who are in a position to control the content of a CME activity will
disclose to learners all relevant financial relationships with commercial
entities. Individuals who may control content include intellyst clinical staff,
project managers, the intellyst CME/CPE Committee, as well as planning
committee members, presenters and independent reviewers of an individual
activity.
Information Provided to Learners
The data provided to learners will include: 1) the name of the individual, 2)
the name of the commercial interest(s), and 3) the nature of the relationship
the individual has with the commercial interest. This information is provided in the course syllabus or enduring material as
appropriate.
Use of Disclosures and Resolution of Identified Conflicts
intellyst® has Policies and Procedures in place which require the disclosure of
all individuals in a position to control or develop content. This information
is then used to identify potential conflicts and resolve them.
