Performance Improvement CME (PI CME)
The NCW Rural Health Foundation is pleased to offer CME to physicians and CE to nurses who are involved in structured performance improvement activities, either individually or in teams.
CME is offered for three stages of a performance improvement process: Stage A - Learning from current practice assessment Stage B - Learning from the application of performance improvement to patient care Stage C - Learning from the evaluation of the performance improvement effort
Five (5) AMA PRA Category 1 credits™ will be awarded for the completion of each stage in which the physician or nurse actively participates. An additional 5 credits will be awarded for the completion of all three stages. (Credit is not based on time spent; and credit is issued even if there was no change in practice.)
