Achieving continued accreditation is a complex and ongoing process, requiring planning, evaluation, and reflection. Since 2015, the LCME has emphasized the importance of continuous quality improvement (CQI) as a proactive method to promptly identify and address potential concerns.

CQI is key to early detection of areas prone to slippage and identifying opportunities within the health care environment, technology, and learner needs.
