Improving Performance in Practice (IPIP)...

Improving Performance in Practice (IPIP) is aimed at transforming the way we deliver healthcare by giving physicians the tools, systems and support they need to provide consistently high quality care to all patients all the time. IPIP will provide in-office assistance to practices to improve quality of care, efficiency and satisfaction for both patients and the healthcare team. Practices will initially use diabetes and asthma as templates for efficient patient-centered systems, later expanding to other clinical conditions.

Goals:

Learn and apply quality improvement and data collection methods to improve care for any condition;
Apply population based strategies for patient care management;
Prepare for the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Recognition status; 
Improvement of the systems that help you to provide care to your patients.
