It's been a year since we first announced the Connect Quality initiative, and nearly 250 Connect Care prescribers have already signed up for this amazing free program. Have you checked it out yet?
Connect Quality is a free program created by the Chief Medical Information Office (CMIO) to help you meet your College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta (CPSA) Physician Practice Improvement Program (PPIP) project requirements! Our goal is to make your work easier. We have organized the resources, training, reporting tools, and documentation required for you to meet CPSA PPIP requirements, so you can focus on looking after your patients.
Three Connect Quality projects are currently available, one for each of the activities CPSA requires physicians to complete over a 5-year cycle:
- In Basket Turnaround Time for the practice-driven quality improvement activity;
- Problem List Maintenance for the CPSA's Standards of Practice quality improvement activity; and,
- (new!) User Settings to Improve Efficiency and Well-Being, for the personal development activity.
- A guide that outlines viewing objective data and metrics within Connect Care. This includes within Signal, as well as in-system Dashboards.
- An example Action Plan.
- Interventions that can be selected including Optimization classes, and self-study options.
- A template that can be used to document all CPSA requirements.
…And have we mentioned that Connect Quality is FREE?!
For those in the Calgary area, members of the CMIO Prescriber Experience and Medical Informatics team will be visiting select sites June 2 and 3 to demo how Connect Quality and the Signal tool in Connect Care can be used to meet CPSA PIPP requirements. If you're at one of these sites or are nearby and are available, consider dropping by!
