METRIC is an online practice improvement program that allows you to earn CME credit in your office. The program is designed to assist you in fulfilling the requirement for Part IV of Maintenance of Certification. You begin by filling out a short practice assessment questionnaire. Next, you pull 10 patient records for chart review. Once you’ve entered data for 10 charts, you will see how your data compares with other users’ data. Next, you build an action plan that’s based on your feedback report. The program provides descriptions of possible interventions and tools to help build a plan that’s right for your needs. Your action plan becomes a guide to making change in your practice systems over the three-month action period. You then complete a second practice questionnaire and review of a second set of 10 patient charts. |
