ImproveCareNow is officially approved by the American Board of Pediatrics as a collaborative QI activity eligible for credit towards part 4 of Maintenance of Certification. Individual physicians participating in ImproveCareNow can be awarded 25 MOC points per year if they satisfy the completion criteria for meaningful participation; up to 50 Part 4 points could be applied per MOC cycle, and 25 points can roll over to the next MOC cycle. Documentation of meaningful participation is the responsibility of the Physician Leader at your center.
To obtain the full 50 points, 25 points must be obtained each year for up to 3 years, and 25 Part 4 points can be rolled over to the next MOC cycle.
