Practice Improvement Projects (PIPs)

A strategic goal of the Academy is provide members with tools to help them meet their Maintenance of Certification® (MOC ) requirements set forth by the American Board of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (ABPMR). Part IV, Practice Performance Assessment, requires that diplomates complete a self directed project, Practice Improvement Project (PIP), within their practice aimed at improving specific areas where there is an identified performance gap.

Your Academy has created interactive, self-guided PIPs to allow you to assess your knowledge and current implementation of evidence-based treatment practices in your practice through a systematic chart review, leading to identifying areas for improvement, selecting corresponding performance measures to track your improvement, implementing an improvement plan, and then reevaluating your practice to see if you have met your goals. Completion of an AAPM&R PIP not only fulfills the Part IV requirement of ABPMR MOC, but also allows physicians to earn up to 20 AMA PRA Category 1 credits™.
