Resources for AAFP Chapters

AAFP offers constituent chapters the tools to better understand METRIC®, AAFP’s Performance Improvement (PI) CME activities. They benefit your members by assisting in completing an activity and enhancing your educational programming.

METRIC utilizes the Chronic Care Model to facilitate quality improvement in the outpatient setting.

METRIC benefits your members

  • Each module is approved by the ABFM as an alternative MOC Part IV activity.
  • Each module awards 20 AAFP Prescribed credits upon completion.
  • Other health care professionals in the clinical setting can improve patient care with the physician, including nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
  • Registration fees per module are: $25 for AAFP member physicians, $75 for non-member physicians, $18.75 for new physicians, free for residents and $25 for other health care professionals such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants.

METRIC enhances your educational program

  • Layering your CME activity with a METRIC module reinforces learning and provides the structure for systematic measurement and improvement using evidence-based guidelines and performance measures (1-page PDF file; About PDFs).
  • Incorporating METRIC into your next program design may improve grant opportunities. Moore’s framework for outcome evaluation– Level 5: performance, and Level 6: patient health– are possible to demonstrate.
  • Following participant progress with METRIC tracking reports and custom outcome reports (6-page PDF file; About PDFs) will pinpoint the impact of your activity.
  • Ensuring a seamless, dynamic experience for your learners, METRIC staff will engage with faculty to integrate content.
  • METRIC staff can participate in promotional efforts to maximize participation.
  • While each activity is unique, your cost is our staff time to administer the program and deliver what you need.
