VCSQI to Hold Web-based “Classes” to Accelerate Your TCPI Progress Through the 5 Phases
To help your practice successfully meet the TCPI milestones, we will hold a series of web-based “classes” over the next several weeks. Each class will address a group of milestones along common themes. The TCPI Project for primary care clinicians includes 27 milestones and for specialists, 22. We will repeat each class 3 times during the week to increase the likelihood that practice representatives can attend one of the times. These times were selected based on the results of the poll Sherri sent out to practices on Wednesday, August 1st. Each week we will hold a class on Tuesday at 7 am ET, Tuesday at 5 pm ET, and Friday at 10 am ET. We will present identical content, although the discussion may vary depending on participation of participating practices.
Ivan and Sherri will be talking with you about which milestone class may be of particular relevance to your practice (based on your recent milestone scores).
