Metric Stripes

How does the METRIC program work?

The METRIC program guides you through a step-by-step process:

Stage A: Learning from Current Practice
  • Complete Practice Assessment Questionnaire.
  • Enter data from patient charts.
  • Assess personal performance and compare results nationally.
Stage B: Learning from the Application of Performance Improvement to Patient Care
  • Select from multiple interventions.
  • Use provided resources to develop Action Plan.
  • Implement Action Plan for a minimum of three months, using tips, templates, and resources from METRIC.
Stage C: Learning from the Evaluation of the Performance Improvement Effort
  • Complete Practice Assessment Questionnaire (re-measure).
  • Enter data from patient charts (re-measure).
  • Compare to baseline measurements and reflect on experience.
The METRIC program follows the AMA’s nationally standardized Performance Improvement CME format.
