Supporting Quality and Performance Improvement Beginning to End

PCPI measures are subject to an ongoing process of testing, refinement and maintenance. The PCPI also augments its measures with supporting materials, which include examples of innovative approaches that drive improvement at the point of care and other initiatives that allow clinicians to participate in quality reporting.

Commitment and Partnership

The AMA-convened PCPI is committed to playing a leadership role in the national effort to improve health care. We're committed to supporting physicians and other health care professionals as they navigate a changing health care environment.
In addition to a full portfolio of measures, you'll find worksheets designed to take the mystery out of participating in the Physician Quality Reporting System.
