These tools took the form of Performance in Practice Modules (PPMs) based on the Deming model for quality improvement.1 The ABFM focused on common disorders frequently encountered by family physicians: diabetes, hypertension, asthma, depression, coronary artery disease, and heart failure. The ABFM also created a “comprehensive” PPM that provided diplomates with a broader set of measure options based on the Ambulatory Quality Alliance Starter Set.2 Since inception of the PPMs, Diplomates have completed >98,000 quality improvement activities (ABFM internal report, accessed February 20, 2017; available upon request.)
