Outcomes Measurement Initiative Case Studies The goal of the Outcomes Measurement Initiative (OMI) program is to assess the educational value of the Consortium for Improvement in Erectile Function (CIEF) by receiving feedback on practice patterns from CIEF members. In phase I of the initiative, a comprehensive survey was developed to assess the educational value of the CIEF programs. The second phase consists of 11 case studies developed by CIEF members based on their clinical experience with the 3 phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil). Presented in an engaging format, these case studies are available here for use in educational venues.
The OMI Case Studies are available in Flash format that can be viewed by PC and Mac users. To download the latest version of FlashPlayer, please use the link provided. Click to view the
