Assessment Framework

The assessment framework evaluates whether an AI-enabled CME activity produces clinically appropriate and educationally suitable responses for its intended use. The evaluation uses a predefined scenario package, expected-response guides, and scoring criteria that are finalized before system outputs are reviewed.

Evaluation Domains

Clinical Accuracy

Are clinical statements, recommendations, and conclusions factually correct and consistent with current evidence and accepted clinical reasoning?

Completeness and Safe Framing

Does the response include the essential information, qualifications, and context needed for the intended educational use?

Harmful Errors or Omissions

Could an incorrect statement, missing warning, missed red flag, or inappropriate recommendation create a meaningful risk if used by a learner?

Evidence and Source Integrity

Are citations, references, and source descriptions accurate, traceable, relevant, and consistent with the claims they support?

Uncertainty and Limitations

Does the activity communicate uncertainty, knowledge limits, and situations that require additional information or professional judgment?

Commercial Influence

Are the response and recommendations balanced and free from promotional language, unsupported product preference, or inappropriate commercial influence?

Interpretation of Findings

The assessment uses a purposive set of clinical scenarios to identify strengths, limitations, and important failure patterns within a defined use case. Because the scenario package is not a random sample of all possible learner interactions, the findings should not be interpreted as population-level performance estimates or as evidence that every possible clinical question has been tested.
