Vision: The ACCP Quality Improvement Committee (QIC) advocates for valid and quantifiable performance measures that ACCP members can implement to improve patient care outcomes in chest, critical care, and sleep medicine.
Mission: The mission of the QIC is to identify and complement performance measure systems that best facilitate ACCP members' implementation of and adherence to ACCP-endorsed measures through the execution of the following tasks:
- Participation in the development, endorsement, and implementation of the highest quality performance measures by collaborating with the most appropriate development and endorsement organizations, eg, the American Medical Association Physician Consortium for Performance Improvement (AMA-PCPI), National Quality Forum, National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), and Ambulatory Care Quality Alliance;
- Creation and employment of a set of criteria for the review of performance measures with consideration for endorsement;
- Provision of guidance to the ACCP membership on quality improvement measures, processes, benchmarking, implementation, reporting, analysis, and publication matters related to performance measurement and related programs, eg, pay-for-performance;
- Work in concert with the Health and Science Policy Subcommittee on performance measures to identify specific recommendations from ACCP evidence-based clinical practice guidelines to be proposed to measures development organizations, eg, AMA-PCPI or NCQA, for potential development into performance measures; and
- Advocate for the modification or removal of performance measures that do not meet the needs of ACCP members' patients or do not completely meet the QIC criteria for a "good" performance measure.
