Course Goals
The goal of this
EQIPP: Medical Home course is to help you create plans for improvement and to address gaps identified in key activities of clinical care related to medical home. These activities focus on improving ongoing medical care and patient/family education and support. You will collect baseline and follow-up data as you work to improve care and processes through Plan, Do, Study, and Act (PDSA) cycles.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this course, you will:
1. Develop your practice’s “medical homeness” in the following ways:
- Form a team for medical home improvement.
- Develop a system such as a registry to identify and manage your patient population or one or more subpopulations.
- Cultivate a personal and ongoing relationship with each patient to provide first-contact, continuous, and comprehensive care; enhance access to care to ensure care is delivered when, where, and how it is needed and wanted.
- Develop family-centered partnerships with families, respecting that they are the constant in their child’s life; apply principles of family-centered care.
- Identify ways to plan, manage, document, and follow up on patients’ preventive, acute, and chronic health care needs, while also addressing their educational, developmental, and behavioral/psychological needs.
- Develop processes to coordinate care across care settings to ensure shared goals of care and timely and optimal communication and information exchange.
2. Measure and improve care delivery and processes in your medical home by doing the following:
- Collect and analyze baseline data to establish a starting point for improvement.
- Identify one or more performance gaps in key activities
- Create an improvement plan for closing identified performance gap(s) and document the improvement idea to be tested:
- AIM: What are we trying to improve or accomplish?
- MEASURES: How will we know that a change made is an improvement?
- CHANGES: What changes can we make that will result in improvement?
- Test ideas quickly on a small scale to determine if the changes lead to improvement.
- Collect and analyze follow-up data to measure the results of the test. (A minimum of two follow-up data collection cycles are necessary for course completion and maintenance of certification recognition).
- Determine how to sustain successful changes and how to systematically integrate them into the culture, processes, and workflow of your practice.
- Create additional improvement plans and repeat PDSA cycles until you reach the maximum potential of providing optimal care in your practice.
Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Resolution of Conflicts of Interest for AAP
CME Activities
The AAP CME program aims to develop, maintain, and improve the competence, skills, and
professional performance of pediatricians and pediatric healthcare professionals by providing
quality, relevant, accessible, and effective educational experiences that address gaps in
professional practice. The AAP CME program strives to meet participants' educational needs
and support their life-long learning with a goal of improving care for children and families. (AAP
CME Program Mission Statement, January 2013)
The AAP recognizes that there are a variety of financial relationships between individuals and
commercial interests that require review to identify possible conflicts of interest in a CME
activity. The “AAP Policy on Disclosure of Financial Relationships and Resolution of Conflicts of
Interest for AAP CME Activities” is designed to ensure quality, objective, balanced, and
scientifically rigorous AAP sponsored or jointly sponsored Continuing Medical Education (CME)
activities by identifying and resolving all potential conflicts of interest prior to the confirmation of
service of those in a position to influence and/or control CME content.
All AAP CME activities will strictly adhere to the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education (ACCME) Standards for Commercial Support: Standards to Ensure the
Independence of CME Activities. In accordance with these Standards, the following decisions
will be made free of the control of a commercial interest: identification of CME needs,
determination of educational objectives, selection and presentation of content, selection of all
persons and organizations that will be in a position to control the content, selection of
educational methods, and evaluation of the CME activity (ACCME Standard 1.1).
The purpose of this policy and its associated procedures is to ensure all potential conflicts of
interest are identified and mechanisms to resolve them prior to the CME activity are
implemented in ways that are consistent with the public good.
The content of this CME activity does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the AAP.
Disclosure of Financial Relationships
All individuals in a position to influence and/or control the content of AAP CME activities are
required to disclose to the AAP and subsequently to learners that the individual either has no
relevant financial relationships or any financial relationships with the manufacturer(s) of any
commercial product(s) and/or provider(s) of commercial services discussed in CME activities.
*Commercial interest is defined as any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing
health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients.

Method of physician participation in the learning process
The EQIPP: Medical Home course requires you to do some work online and some offline. The online work involves reviewing the content presentation, researching linked information, and participating in guided activities. The offline work includes the performance improvement activities you will do within your own practice to improve key activities in your practice.
Please note: CME credit is only awarded to learners who enter and analyze data. Using sample data provided by EQIPP will exclude learners from receiving AMA Category 1 Credit for the performance improvement activity portion of the course.
Estimated time to complete the educational activity
You may progress through the course at a pace that is comfortable for you, taking into consideration the demands of your practice. But it is important to establish a goal for completion. The amount of time you are likely to spend per clinical content area can vary depending on if you pursue additional links for more learning. You may also want to consider some elapsed time between sections to “catch your breath.”
Completion requirements for the Performance Improvement activity include:
1. Enter baseline data and analyze your results.
2. Create an improvement plan that has a minimum of 1 aim statement.
3. Document a minimum of 1 idea for change
4. Enter data for a minimum of two follow up data sets and analyze your results.
5. Submit a course evaluation.
Generally speaking, the course can be completed within 4-8 months, depending on the number of improvement cycles you make to reach the goals you have set for your practice.
Instructions for Claiming Credit
You may claim a maximum of 34 AMA PRA Category 1TM enduring material credits after completing all the assessments in the course. In order to pass an assessment, you must complete the assessment with a score of 70% or greater. You may claim 20 AMA PRA Category 1TM performance improvement credits after fulfilling the completion requirements noted in the section above (sample data users are not eligible).
To initiate credit claiming, click the Claim Credit link on the course home page.
American Board of Pediatrics Maintenance of Certification Requirements
