Benchmarking practice performance can boost value; innovators explain how
An AMA webinar at 7 p.m. Eastern time Feb. 27 will explain how to benchmark practice performance to prepare for value-based payments. Register today.
Hosted by the AMA Innovators Committee, this webinar will help physicians:
- Identify data sources and technology solutions to help measure performance.
- Assess the specific functionality they need in an electronic health record system or other technology solution to track performance and compare it against benchmarks.
- Pinpoint the measures most relevant to their practices.
- Understand how to track performance against benchmarks.
- Recognize suboptimal performance and implement a strategy for performance improvement.
Physician innovators will share insights they have learned from their own experiences benchmarking their practices' performance.
