Abstract
Background: Performance or Quality Improvement Continuing Medical Education/Continuing Professional Development (PI-CME/CPD) is considered by many to have a considerable potential to achieve meaningful, lasting and measurable changes in clinical practice and, ideally, to improve patient health outcomes. Unfortunately, some of the ongoing challenges include wider adoption among physician learners as well as sustained engagement. A number of web-based platforms that include data collection and process improvement tools, as well as educational interventions have been developed as means of enabling and supporting this type of continuing professional development in medicine. However, based on the last available report about the US CME enterprise from the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the number of providers who are developing this type of accredited PI/QI CME activities as well as the number of physicians engaging in them remain one of the lowest segments overall.
Objectives: During this presentation, we will review and analyze data from a number of web-based
PI-CME projects about engagement of clinician (mostly physician) learners and their performance improvement patterns.
Methods: (1) We will use didactic slide presentation to review and analyze data and our findings from multiple projects (2) Time will be reserved for to the exchange of ideas and feedback from conference participants. We hope that together with this group of educators, clinicians and other stakeholders in the area of PI/QI CME, we will contribute to the improvements in the design of future projects in this field.
Key Points: With years of implementation and a body of evidence from available PI-CME projects, we will explore some answers to the following questions:
 What types of measures are selected for improvement by physician learners?
 How important is feedback in the design on PI CME and how much of it is optimal?
 What type of interventions contributes to improvement the most?
 What drives continuous use of PI-CME?
 Where are the barriers and how can we overcome them?
