Case Study: American Board of Medical Specialties achieves enhanced physician assessment and improved patient care with Castor EDC

American Board of Medical Specialities Continue To Improve Patient Care in the Usa

The American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS), which certifies more than 860,000 physicians across 37 specialties, needed an electronic data capture solution to evaluate how its Maintenance of Certification (MOC) programs affect patient care and clinician performance. After evaluating over 30 tools and short‑listing five, ABMS selected Castor EDC’s electronic data capture platform to distribute a broad program of research questions and longitudinal assessments to its physicians.

Using Castor EDC, ABMS has implemented sequenced, quarterly surveys to deliver spaced‑learning assessments of physician knowledge and judgment, enabling ongoing evaluation of program relevance, usability, and perceived impact. Chosen for compliance, usability, flexibility and cost, Castor has supported a smooth implementation and responsive partnership; the initiative creates a measurable framework—regular longitudinal data from ABMS physicians—that will track clinician competency and inform improvements in patient care.
