“…Unique to the process is a question that asks the physician to self‐identify any barriers that might be encountered and thus influence implementation success. Despite concerns about the accuracy of physician self‐assessment, successful PIP completion has been associated with improved patient outcomes across medical specialties . However, it is unknown if the improvements were associated with long‐term sustainability of the changes within a physicians’ practice, thereby extending the health benefits to all patients.…”

Background and Objectives In 2000, the American Board of Medical Specialties implemented the Maintenance of Certification (MOC), a structured process to help physicians identify and implement a quality improvement project to improve patient care. This study reports on findings from an MOC Performance in Practice (PIP) module designed and evaluated by addiction psychiatrists who are members of the American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry (AAAP). Method A 3-phase process was utilized to recruit AAAP members to participate in the study. The current study utilized data from 154 self-selected AAAP members who evaluated the effectiveness of the MOC Tobacco Cessation PIP. Results Of the physicians participating, 76% (n 120) completed the Tobacco PIP. A paired t-test analysis revealed that reported changes in clinical measure documentation were significant across all six measures. Targeted improvement efforts focused on a single clinical measure. Results found that simple change projects designed to improve clinical practice led to substantial changes in self-reported chart documentation for the selected measure. Conclusions The current findings suggest that addiction psychiatrists can leverage the MOC process to improve clinical care.

“…Some report MOC Part IV activities as beneficial to patient care. [10][11][12][13][14] The ABFM also reports general satisfaction with online modules for Part IV completion. 15 However, a focus group of board-certified internal medicine and family medicine physicians identified MOC as overly complex, with Part IV activities being particularly difficult and providing limited value.…”

Group quality improvement projects through the portfolio-approved and self-directed activities seemed to be the most positively reported way to complete the ABFM requirement. Regardless of method, time constraints and quality improvement expertise are significant barriers to completion of the requirement. Residency programs will need to grapple with these barriers to maximize benefits to residents as they prepare to become board certified.

“…These included small, single-institution studies with universal improvement on targeted process measures, improvement on some outcome measures, self-reported increases in QI engagement and application, or improvements in knowledge. [99][100][101][102][103][104][105][106][107] However, one local study of inpatient pediatricians showed that improvements made in body mass index documentation were not sustained after the intervention. 108 Small, single-institution QI interventions designed to meet both ACGME and practice improvement (Part IV) MOC requirements demonstrated universal improvement on targeted process measures reflecting the care delivered by trainees.…”
