IV. Performance Improvement Activities
Performance Improvement Activities are CME activities in which a physician engages in a three-stage practice improvement process. PI activites are structured, long-term activities by which physicians learn about specific performance measures, retrospectively assess their practice, and apply those measures over a useful interval and re-evaluate their performance. Up to 20 credits may be awarded.
Stage A: Identify educational need through a measure of performance in practice
Stage B: Engage in educational experiences to meet the demonstrated need or gap
Stage C: Integrate learning from Stage B into patient care and then re-evaluate
practice performance

Point-of-care activities are structured, self-directed online learning by physicians on topics immediately relevant to their practice.
