Select Your Module(s)
Practice groups may choose to complete one module together, or complete multiple modules in smaller sub-teams. For example, a practice group with 12 participants could decide to have three sub-teams of four complete three different modules, or sub-teams of three complete four different modules. Individual physicians may also choose an intervention to complete alone and still remain a part of the group.
METRIC: Asthma
Asthma accounts for more than 10.5 million office visits each year. Identify changes to improve the lives of your asthma patients and your practice with this module.
METRIC: Hypertension
Up to one-third of your adult patients may be experiencing hypertension. Identify changes that can improve the lives of your patients and your practice through this module.
Review the performance measures for all METRIC modules.
Set Your Scope
While METRIC modules only require 10-15 patient charts per module, each participant may enter up to 50 patient charts during the baseline assessment (Stage A) and another 50 patient charts during the reassessment (Stage C) for a total of up to 100 patient charts.
Choose Your Reports
Quality improvement initiative leaders can easily monitor the progress of the group in accomplishing each step in the program through standard and customized reports.
The standard group tracking report is a list of all physicians in the group along with a date stamp of each stage in the METRIC module they completed. View a sample standard group tracking report.
Results for your quality improvement initiative group can be viewed within the METRIC program or by requesting specific data reports. For customized report options, contact METRIC staff by email at metric@aafp.org or by calling (800) 274-2237, ext. 7012. View a sample customized data report.
