What
is performance improvement education? Performance
improvement education (PIE) CME activities are
structured, long-term processes by which a physician
or group of physicians can learn about specific performance
measures, retrospectively assess their practice,
apply these measures prospectively over a useful
interval, and re-evaluate their performance. PIE
activities may address any facet (structure, process,
or outcome) of a physician’s practice with direct
implications for patient care. A complete, structured
PI activity must integrate 3 distinct stages.Up
to 5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ per stage
may be awarded to physician participants, and an
additional 5 credits may be awarded for physicians
who complete all 3 stages, for a maximum of 20 CME
credits.
