About PI CME
Performance Improvement Continuing Medical Education (PI CME) is a structured, long-term
process by which a physician or group of physicians learn about specific performance
measures, assess their practice using selected measures, implement interventions
to improve their practice, and then reassess the practice after an interval of time.
PI CME has been recognized as an important component of continuing professional
development and may answer multiple credentialing and reporting needs. Physicians
can earn 5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for completion of each stage of a
PI CME activity, or 20 credits for completion of all three stages. Nurses, physician
assistants, and other healthcare professionals should check with their respective
boards/agencies to confirm that the credits can be used towards licensure or CE
requirements.
