Session summary
Dr. Jack Percelay, of Sutter Health in San Francisco, started this session at Pediatric Hospital Medicine 2019 by outlining the process of submitting a small group (n = 1-10) project for Maintenance of Certification (MOC) Part 4 credit including the basics of what is needed for the application:
- Aim statement.
- Metrics used.
- Data required (3 data points: pre, post, and sustain).
He also shared the requirement of “meaningful participation” for participants to be eligible for MOC Part 4 credit.
Examples of successful projects were shared by members of the presenting group:
- Dr. Natt: Improving the timing of the birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccination.
- Dr. Dobler: Improving the hepatitis B vaccination rate within 24 hours of birth.
- Dr. Snow: Supplementing vitamin D in the newborn nursery.
- Dr. Fox: Improving newborn discharge efficiency, improving screening for smoking exposure, and offering smoking cessation.
- Dr. Percelay: Improving hospitalist billing and coding using time as a factor.
- Dr. Chen: Improving patient satisfaction through improvement of family-centered rounds.
The workshop audience divided into groups to brainstorm/troubleshoot projects and to elicit general advice regarding the process. Sample submissions were provided.
Key takeaways
- Even small projects (i.e. single metric) can be submitted/accepted with pre- and postintervention data.
- Be creative! Think about changes you are making at your institution and gather the data to support the intervention.
- Always double-dip on QI projects to gain valuable MOC Part 4 credit!
Dr. Fox is site director, Pediatric Hospital Medicine Division at MetroWest Medical Center, Framingham, Mass.
