  1. Multiple ‘profession’ selections are causing failed activity submissions. Currently,The PARS & JA PARS web service V3 will not report activities for certain professions. Existing activities will fail to report. PARS has not yet published documentation with explicit ‘profession’ requirements (scheduled documentation release 3/4/22, scheduled PARS bug fix 3/11ACCME released a fix on 3/14/22). To submit an activity successfully, admins must uncheck all other professions for the activity to report.

...

2. Adding multiple contributors causes no ‘inkind’ values to submit successfully. Currently, admins should only add a single monetary contributor in order for ‘inkind’ values to submit successfully (scheduled documentation release 3/4/22, scheduled PARS bug fix the week of ACCME released a fix on 3/14/22).

...

3. Learner counts do not successfully submit for Athletic Trainers. Batch uploads and web service submissions to PARS currently do not update learner counts for Athletic Trainers (scheduled documentation release 3/4/22, scheduled PARS bug fix the week of ACCME released a fix on 3/14/22).

4. Practice selections submit successfully, but do not show in the PARS user interface. When selecting a profession other than ‘Pharmacy’ or ‘Pharmacy Technician’, and the ‘Pharmacy activity type’ selection of ‘Practice’, none of the values show up in the PARS user interface after record submission. However, records will be successfully submitted without an error.

5. MOC approval ‘ self-assessment’ no longer reporting for existing activities. The ‘Self-Assessment’ MOC approval selection must be unselected to submit existing activities successfully. (scheduled documentation release 3/4/22, scheduled PARS bug fix the week of ACCME released a fix on 3/14/22)

...

6. Enduring activity submission duplicates when submitting a multi-year activity. Previously, when submitting an enduring multi-year activity, EthosCE would create an activity instance for each reporting year (as required by PARS). PARS no longer requires the reporting year for enduring activities and no longer requires an activity instance for each reporting year. With the EthosCE 7.54 release, the EthosCE PARS & JA PARS web service reporting add-on will no longer create an activity instance for each reporting year. For existing activities which have already been submitted only the first activity matching the reporting year will receive submission updates. Please contact info@accme.org for further instructions on removing extra enduring activity submissions.

7. Error 9999 in PARS MOC reporting is caused by selecting any "Learner/Team Performance" measured outcome. Removing that specific outcome can be used as a workaround until ACCME deploys a fix for this issue (ACCME released a fix on 3/14/22).

8. Error 458, Error 469: Provider ActivityID is invalid. A major bug in the PARS + JA PARS v3 web service was found and reported by EthosCE. The PARS webservice bug returns incorrect ActivityID data including the wrong Activity Type when querying the PARS webservice to add activities or update existing activities. As a workaround: use a different provider ID than the existing activity, or, delete the existing activity if the activity type was incorrect and re-save the course in EthosCE. This bug was reported to ACCME as of 3/23/22.
