ABMS Portfolio Program Poster Submission Requirements

The ABMS Portfolio Program recognizes quality and safety improvement work ABMS Member Board certified physicians and medical specialists (diplomates) and physician assistants (PAs) certified by the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) are doing in their practices and health care organizations to help them earn credit for continuing certification (MOC). The program can contribute to organizational goals by encouraging and supporting physician/PA engagement in activities that make improvement happen. Accepting activities already being worked on alleviates the need for your providers to seek out external activities for continuing certification, keeping their focus on what is most important to them in the care of their patients.

Eligibility

The program operates through a national network of health care organizations that serve as ABMS Portfolio Program Sponsors and with the ABMS Member Boards and NCCPA to award credit. Any physician or PA from a Sponsor organization who meaningfully participated in improvement work that was/is represented on a poster is eligible for credit through the Portfolio Program.

Poster Requirements

The Poster pathway provides Sponsors another means by which they can capture and report credit-eligible improvement work happening within the organization.

Improvement work represented on a poster must meet the same requirements as any other QI activity submitted through the Portfolio Program
The poster must have been presented, shared or published at quality week, a conference, small group session, or some other event/meeting
For persons listed as poster authors - the poster itself acts as the attestation, so no additional attestation is required
For those who participated in the improvement work represented on the poster, but are not listed as authors, the normal attestation requirement applies
Sponsors are required to attest to the above during the submission process (in MOCAM)

See the ABMS Portfolio Program QI Activity Requirements and Meaningful Participation Requirements sheets for more information.
