CLINICAL PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT LINKS

Just as the Accreditation Association standards development is a process that involves clinicians and administrators in ambulatory health care settings (i.e., college health, endoscopy centers, Indian Health Services centers, etc.), the AAAHC Institute encourages input from those who are "in the field." The Performance Measurement Initiative (PMI) is the centerpiece of the AAAHC Institute. The PMI includes national experts and experienced representatives from various ambulatory health care settings, and sets priorities for AAAHC Institute’s research initiatives. Task forces convened by the PMI draw from issue and setting specific experts. For example, a nationally renowned expert in medical error event reporting worked with our task force on this issue; the college health center task force includes representation from the American College Health Association (ACHA).
