About Easy Performance Improvement (EasyPI)
EasyPI is a peer-reviewed, curated collection of online education resources created by the OAFP to support family physicians in completing a self-guided PI project in practice and receive credit for the work they do.
Each EasyPI track will guide you through the process of evaluating background information for a specific condition, determining how this information should drive patient care, and implementing team-based practice change to improve patient outcomes.
After implementing your chosen PI initiative, EasyPI resources provide step-by-step instructions on how to submit your work to the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) through its Self-Directed PI Project: Clinical Pathway application. Self-directed PI projects fulfill an ABFM PI requirement, add 20 ABFM points to your portfolio, and equate to 20 continuing medical education (CME) credits through the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP).
