Why do I need an action plan for my PPIP activity?

An important part of completing a PPIP activity includes creating an action plan to document how you plan to address and implement your opportunities for improvement.

We recommend using SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timely) goals to increase the likelihood of success. You may also want to consider familiarizing yourself with the iterative nature of quality improvement, for example by reviewing the PDSA (Plan Do Study Act) cycle.

We have a template for an action plan on our website physicians can use, or you can create your own.
