AMA Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement Meeting Looks at EHRs
AAPA recently attended the American Medical Association (AMA) Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement (PCPI) meeting in Washington, D.C.
The two main objectives of the meeting were to engage the PCPI membership in discussions regarding national activities related to the integration of quality measures into electronic health records (EHRs). Secondly, to inform the PCPI membership of proposed pathways to ensure physicians across all specialties, have access to clinically relevant measures ready for integration into EHRs.
Also, a representative of The American College of Surgeons (ACS) spoke about the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (ACS NSQIP) which is the first nationally validated, risk-adjusted, outcomes-based program to measure and improve the quality of surgical care.
AAPA is a member of the AMA-PCPI.
