New Options for Performance Improvement Activity Credit

We’re excited to announce the launch of a new Performance Improvement (PI) activity using the Population Health Assessment Engine (PHATE™). PHATE is a population health tool commissioned by ABFM and developed in collaboration with the Center for Applied Research and Engagement Systems (CARES) at the University of Missouri. Using PHATE, physicians and their staff can gain a greater understanding of communities in which their patients live and deepen their understanding of Social Determinants of Health (SDOH). Use of the PHATE tool can help practices expand their ability to assess varied health outcomes and illness experiences through a geographic lens and apply this to helping their patients and communities. This activity is available now in your MyABFM Portfolio and provides PI activity credit for participating physicians.

Dual Opportunity for Physicians Participating in the PRIME Registry!  Choose from “Registry Favorites” for MIPS Improvement Activities and Earn ABFM PI Activity Credit

ABFM Diplomates who use the PRIME Registry Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) dashboard to submit their data for that payment model can now choose from a list of ‘Registry Favorites” in the Improvement Activities (IA) category and use that activity for both MIPS and ABFM certification points. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) improvement activities should be submitted as Self-Directed activities.

Check out the guide to self-directed PI activities and the PHATE PI activity here.
