Depression quality improvement program seeks participants

Physicians are invited to participate in ACP's new quality improvement program on depression.

This free Web-based program offers physicians the chance to earn up to 30 performance improvement CME credits and credit toward American Board of Internal Medicine Part 4 Maintenance of Certification. This program will help physicians to analyze their own practice patterns, evaluate actual practice data in identifying gaps, and learn how to implement clinical quality improvement tools and techniques.

Participants will also communicate with national experts via conference call to interact and receive guidance on practice improvement. The program is done for free without leaving the office. Physicians will be asked to complete both a survey and a set of chart abstractions twice during the program and will be given access to a Web-based educational module on depression. The first 50 physicians to enroll in the program will be entered into a raffle to win either MKSAP 15 or Internal Medicine 2011 registration. If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Meghan Gannon at mgannon@acponline.org.
