II.E.1 New Innovations

New Innovations Medical Education Management Suite is the software the Sponsoring Institution utilizes for the management of program documentation and requirements. Program Directors and Coordinators are required to maintain all House Officer demographic data, evaluations, rotation schedules, and clinical and educational work hours within the management system. New Innovations provides both online and telephone support to programs. The GME Office offers periodic workshops for additional training on an as-needed basis.
House Officers are required to comply with the institutional policy regarding clinical and educational work hour monitoring/recording using New Innovations. House Officers must record their work hours for ACGME compliance by entering the data in the designated module within New Innovations on a weekly basis. Periodic monitoring is done to ensure that hours are being logged into the system and comply with ACGME guidelines. Failure to comply with this policy may result in formal disciplinary action being taken, up to and including possible dismissal from the Program.
The GME Office provides periodic training sessions to Program Directors and coordinators. In addition, the GME Staff will provide additional training to program faculty and House Officers upon request.
