ACP Projects
ACPNet: Practice Based Research
ACPNET is a national practice-based research network (PBRN) for internists. A PBRN is a group of practices that are devoted principally to the care of patients, and volunteer to examine the health care process. ACPNET benefits from the experience and wisdom of office-based physicians, and strives for more effective translation of research into practice.
Closing the Gap
Closing the Gap is a team-oriented, multi-format, practice based, on-line educational intervention. CTG will help physicians and their staff to develop and improve strategies for creating systems change in their practices and to improve the care they provide to their patients.
Inform, Implement, Immunize: ACP’s Immunization Outreach Program
Inform, Implement, Immunize: ACP’s Immunization Outreach Program (I3) is an innovative quality improvement program that uses a practice-based, team-oriented model to train teams of physicians, nurses or other allied health professionals, and office administrators. I3 will help physicians and their staff to develop and improve strategies for immunizing their patients against influenza, and also HPV, herpes zoster, pneumococcal disease, pertussis, tetanus, and Hepatitis B.
ACOVE Prime
The Assessing Care of Vulnerable Elders (ACOVE) project endeavored to develop a comprehensive set of quality-assessment tools for ill older persons. Because "ill older persons" constitute a heterogeneous cohort that is not easily delineated, we created a system to identify high-risk, community-dwelling individuals and targeted the most important clinical conditions affecting them.
Center for Practice Innovation
The Center for Practice Innovation tests practice redesign strategies in 25-50 representative physician offices across the United States with the goal of improving clinical quality while addressing the impact of such strategies on patient satisfaction, safety, the economics of practice, and the adoption of health information technology.
Physician Practice Information Survey
For the first time in nearly a decade, the American College of Physicians, the American Medical Association, and more than 70 other health care professional organizations, have worked together to coordinate a comprehensive multi-specialty survey of America’s physician practices.
