    This study introduces a novel continuing medical education method for general practitioners using a viewdata system. It facilitates group consensus on practice-based problems, enhancing performance standards.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • General Practice
    • Healthcare Performance Standards

    Background:

    • Continuing medical education (CME) faces challenges in aligning objectives with performance standards.
    • General practice presents specific difficulties in implementing standards-based CME.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and evaluate a novel CME method for general practitioners.
    • To assess the feasibility of linking CME objectives to performance standards through group consensus.

    Main Methods:

    • A viewdata system connected small groups of general practitioners to a coordinating center.
    • Groups discussed identical, real-world general practice problems, first individually, then through tutor-led consensus.
    • Responses were aggregated centrally and shared back with groups via viewdata.

    Main Results:

    • The method successfully generated consensus-based solutions to practice problems.
    • The approach was found to be attractive and relevant to general practitioners.
    • The system facilitated CME delivery based on defined performance standards.

    Conclusions:

    • The described viewdata-linked group method is a viable and effective approach for standards-based CME in general practice.
    • This innovative model shows potential for application in other professional disciplines requiring continuous learning and performance improvement.
