PPIP TIPS This monthly section has been created in response to members of the Department requesting assistance with the Physician Practice Improvement Projects required by the CPSA in order to maintain their licensure. The first 5-year cycle was launched in 2021 and consists of 3 separate projects to be completed in that time: |
|
A Practice Quality Improvement activity (group or individual) |
A CPSA Standards of Practice activity (individual) |
A Personal Development activity (individual) |
|
Tip #2: Connect Care users can leverage the resources shared on our website to support two of the PPIP requirements. These Connect Quality tools offer three project ideas and step-by-step instructions to make it easier to complete the QI-focused CPSA requirements: one individual Practice-Driven Quality Improvement Activity and two CPSA Standards of Practice Quality Improvement Activities. Watch for more PIPP Tips in the fall for community department members who do not use Connect Care and for group Practice-Driven Quality Improvement Activities. |
|
Useful Resource
Connect Quality from Connect Care supports completion of the first two PPIP projects guided by the CPSA's published requirements.
