Articles and Media Coverage

In a quest to unveil common problems for small practices and offer solutions, the College’s Center for Practice Innovation (CPI) visited 34 practices across the U.S. over a two-year period. Members of the center’s three-person team assessed each practice on a variety of factors, such as scheduling, work flow, documentation and safety. They offered individual recommendations and resources for improvement, then returned to the practices a year later to see how they did.

Through a series of six articles, ACP Internist explores the issues the CPI encountered during its visits, the advice the center gave, and how the practices responded.
