Improving Health and Health Care Credit (IHHC/Part IV) for Quality Improvement

As an ABMS IHHC/Part IV Portfolio Program Sponsor, Emory University School of Medicine IHHCQI works with participating ABMS Member Boards to grant IHHC/Part IV credit to Emory physicians who actively participate and successfully complete approved quality improvement efforts. IHHCQI (CME Office) provides a process for formal review of QI projects to ensure they comply with ABMS standards, reports approved QI projects to ABMS specialty boards, and upon completion of projects, and reports individual physician participation to specialty boards for awarding IHHC/Part IV credit.

If you need IHHC/Part IV (Improvement in Medical Practice) credit by December 31 of the current year, the deadline to submit a completed project application to us is November 1 to allow for review and approval by Emory and by your specialty board.
