The Washington Academy of Family Physicians has partnered with the Washington State Medical Association, and the Puget Sound Health Alliance to create the Clinical Performance Improvement Network (CPIN), an educational program designed to assist physician practices focus efforts on quality improvement.
The goal of CPIN is to offer opportunities for medical practices to collaborate with one another, sharing best practices, proven innovations, tools, and resources to stimulate accelerated and efficient implementation into practice settings. The initial target audience is medium and small-sized primary care practices with a focus on evidence-based care, especially for chronic conditions and preventive services..
CPIN offers learning network events bimonthly or quarterly, either in person or via web conferences. The sessions are scheduled for early morning, over the lunch hour, or at other times to accommodate individuals with busy practice schedules. Event duration ranges from 60-90 minutes, with the general format being formal presentations on a range of topics from local or national provider organizations, with ample time reserved for discussion and networking (for in-person meetings). AMA Category 1 CME credit and AAFP Preferred CME credit will be available for most sessions at no cost to participants. http://www.wsma.org/CPIN#about
