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.

Physicians can earn continuing medical education credit in the form of AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ by participating in this webinar. Registration is free for AMA members; nonmembers can sign up for $30. If you're not an AMA member, join today.

This webinar is the fourth in a seven-part series. Visit the AMA's Web page on next generation physician payment and delivery models to learn more about the Innovators Committee and register to view archived recordings of previous webinars.
