BLOCK SCHEDULE POLICY

Introduction:
All Graduate Medical Education (GME) programs must enter their academic year block schedule into the Residency Management System (RMS). The RMS is used across all of the MMCGME participating sponsoring institutions to manage GME resident and fellow data and required documentation, record block schedules and manage the reimbursement billing process, among other key features. A block schedule displays information (including rotation start date, rotation end date, and scheduled rotation location) about residents/fellows rotating to different hospitals and clinics and their respective services throughout the academic year. It’s very important that block schedules are accurate. Hospital and clinic sites rely on block schedules to prepare for a resident/fellow rotation. Resident/Fellow evaluations and calculations for government reimbursement are based on block schedules as well.
Please let us know if you have any questions about the Block Schedule Policy.

History:
The MMCGME Operations Committee developed and the MMCGME Board approved a community-wide Required Data and Documentation Standard after surveying hospital training sites to see what data and documentation each site collects.
Purpose:
To facilitate ease of trainees’ rotations to various clinical sites while providing necessary documentation for hospital onboarding with the goal of reducing redundancies and administrative burden on site coordinators, program coordinators and trainees, thus preventing unnecessary delays in beginning training. The vast majority of hospital sponsors within MMCGME require the data listed below to participate in rotations at their sites.
This standard ensures programs and hospitals are entering required data and documentation into New Innovations’ Residency Management Suite (RMS) and that hospitals are able to access and rely on accurate and consistent information in RMS, and hospitals should access and use the information in RMS for trainees beginning July 1, 2019.
Please let us know if you have any questions about the Required Data and Documentation Standard.
