Qicme was established in 2007 by the Peer·Point Medical Education Institute, LLC as a product offering intended to focus solely on Quality Improvement through education.
Qicme blends evidence-based data, practice management theories, adult learning principles and well established Quality Improvement processes into programs that reduce variability in delivery, and change the behavior of healthcare providers.
It focuses on:
- Healthcare Professional/Patient Education
- Improved Healthcare Delivery (Outcomes)
- Behavioral/Attitudinal Change
- Strategic Consultation
- Data Gathering and Analysis
- Public Reporting/Publication
The institutional framework of Qicme was created to:
- Address perceptions, healthcare observations, themes affecting clinical practice, as well as gaps and barriers creating suboptimal healthcare delivery
- Improve the level of HCP education by bridging QI initiatives with HCP education
- Give providers clear perspectives into their practice and their gaps
- Improve patient and population outcomes (Moore’s Level 5 and 6)
Provide healthcare stakeholders with valuable and innovative Quality Improvement initiatives that can be implemented at the point-of-care level. Create measurable and reportable programs that provide participants with the greatest amount of value to improve the quality and delivery of care in the U.S.
The Qicme Process, known as the Keystone Method, allows us to design and modify programs based on the needs and gaps of the healthcare community. Below is a simplified look at the Keystone Method that is utilized for our QI programming:
- Treatment Adherence/Compliance
