The heightened demand for accountability, access, and quality performance from health care professionals has resulted in linkages between continuing education (CE), performance improvement (PI), and outcomes. CE health professionals must also expand their skills and abilities to design, implement, and measure CE activities consistent with these new expectations. In addition to administrative and meeting-planning activities, new competencies associated with educational consultation and performance coaching are needed. This article utilizes the Alliance competencies as the framework for discussion of the competencies of CE professionals and applies it to the unique setting of a collaborative. The CS2day initiative serves as an example of the application of these competencies in this environment. The framework of the Alliance competencies can serve as a guide and a tool for self-assessment, work design, and professional development at individual, organization, and systems levels. Continual reassessment of the Alliance competencies for CE in the health professions will be critical to the continued effectiveness of CE that is linked to performance improvement and outcomes for the CE professional and the health care professionals we serve. A collaborative can provide one option for meeting these new expectations for professional development for CE professionals and the creation of effective educational initiatives.
对医疗保健专业人员问责制、可及性和高质量绩效的更高要求，已导致继续教育（CE）、绩效改进（PI）和结果之间产生了联系。CE健康专业人员还必须扩展其技能和能力，以设计、实施和衡量符合这些新期望的CE活动。除了行政和会议策划活动外，还需要与教育咨询和绩效辅导相关的新能力。本文以联盟能力为框架，讨论CE专业人员的能力，并将其应用于合作的独特环境中。CS2day倡议是这些能力在这种环境中的应用示例。联盟能力框架可作为个人、组织和系统层面自我评估、工作设计和专业发展的指南和工具。持续重新评估健康职业中CE的联盟能力，对于与CE专业人员及我们所服务的医疗保健专业人员的绩效改进和结果相关的CE的持续有效性至关重要。合作可为满足CE专业人员对专业发展的这些新期望以及创建有效的教育倡议提供一种选择。
