RADNOR, Pa., June 18, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — CME Outfitters (CMEO), a leading accredited provider of continuing education that holds Joint Accreditation with Commendation and a division of KnowFully Learning Group, has received a Gold Award in the 2026 Spring Digital Health Awards® from the Health Information Resource Center (HIRC). Now in its 28th year, the national competition recognizes the best online health resources, judged by health technology professionals on content, format, audience impact, and overall quality.
CMEO earned the honor in the Web-based Resource/Tool category for Mission Possible: Choosing the Right Therapy for the Right Patient at the Right Time, a CaseWise™ resource created for the enduring program of a live symposium at the Crohn’s & Colitis Congress®. It helps gastroenterologists, fellows, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants navigate complex treatment decisions in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), pairing the latest evidence on IL-23 inhibitors with what matters most to patients along their journey: quality of life, long-term goals, and personal preference.
What sets the activity apart is how it was built. Patients did not simply inform the content. They helped shape it from the start. Patient advocates Natalie Hayden, founder of Lights, Camera, Crohn’s, and Kaylaa’ White, writer, IBD advocate, and Social Media Ambassador for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation, contributed throughout, and a survey of 35 people living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis set the priorities reflected across the program. Real patient cases, drawn from patients’ own lived experience, anchor the clinical learning, while journey-mapping and shared goal-setting tools translate patient-defined outcomes, such as returning to work, easing fatigue, and freedom from steroids, into actionable treatment plans.
“Evidence tells us what works. Patients tell us what matters. The strongest clinical decisions happen where those two meet,” said Shari Tordoff, Executive Vice President, KnowFully Medical Education. “When patients help build education, clinicians come to see the patient perspective as essential to optimal care, not an afterthought. That is what this resource does. It empowers patients, and it equips the teams who care for them to act on what those patients value.”
The CaseWise™ format brings real-world decision-making to life. Learners see how evidence translates into practice, how their practice patterns compare to experts and peers, and, most importantly, to what matters to patients, and why.
The activity was supported by an educational grant from Johnson & Johnson.
