In developing CMEs, I've always tried to make sure that the program incorporates, or at least mentions, any relevant clinical practice guidelines. There are, afterall, the best collective wisdom that we've got. That's why I was excited to stumble onto the Evidence-Based Guidelines for CME recently published in a special supplement of Chest (Chest, 2009, 135, Supplement).
There's lots of information for developers of CME programs, and for those researching CME effectiveness. The Guidelines cover the effect of CME on knowledge, practice performance, clinical outcomes, and include a discussion on audience characteristics and external factors in CME, and the use and effectiveness of simulations.
