Send us your specialty-specific performance indicators

Does your organization’s OPPE, FPPE, or peer review program feature exceptional performance indicators? Want an inside look at other institutions’ approaches to capturing meaningful, yet practical professional practice evaluation data? 

Development is underway for Performance Indicators: Clinical Specialty-Specific Strategies and Samples, which will showcase an array of field-tested, expert-vetted performance indicators for individual physician and advanced practice specialties, as well as for core competencies spanning specialties.

Send us your best indicators, and if they’re selected for publication, we’ll ship you a complimentary copy of the book.
