| Date: August 20 [due date 9 + 1 day]
Dear [project participants]: As of August 19 [due date 9] your performance improvement method(s) for the MYQIP project HPV Immunization Rates In Adolescent Females, should have been fully operational in your practice for at least 8 weeks. Do not change this. Continue to operate your practice with your performance improvement method(s) in place. The next step is to collect follow-up data. This should be done in the same way that you collected your baseline data. Your sample could be different patients in your practice, or the same patients who were studied earlier, or a combination of the two. You must review 10 (or more) patient encounters or patient charts using the study measurement that was used during the baseline data collection period. When you complete your observations (minimum sample size is 10), you must enter your data on the MYQIP project web site. You will need the number of observations (n) and [the number of successes or positive results or the mean value of these observations, MYQIP selects the proper option depending on the variable type that was selected]. As a participant in this MYQIP project HPV Immunization Rates In Adolescent Females, the deadline for entering your follow-up data on the MYQIP project web site is on September 16 [due date 10]. As your project community leader, I am obligated to confirm that all participants complete all program participation requirements according to the timeline in order to receive MOC-4 ABP credit. Please complete the entry of your data on the MYQIP project web site by September 16 [due date 10]. This follow-up step assesses the status of our practice after implementing our chosen PI method(s) to see if our practice has actually improved. If you have questions about this project, please post your question on the MYQIP project web site so that everyone can see the question and replies from the group and the project community leader. Thank you very much for your continued efforts in completing these requirements for the project community. Sincerely yours, Loren Yamamoto, MD, FAAP Your Project Community Leader (PCL) [insert timeline here] |
