Next Steps (Homework)
• Review the requirements for each
standard, element and factor
– What does the practice already do?
– What does the practice need to create?
– Are there elements the practice clearly does
not have in place but does not wish to
implement in the near-term?
Next Steps (Homework)
• Organize Your Documents
– Create a place on your computer (server or
hard-drive) for all of your documentation
– You should have a folder for each standard
– A checklist can help you determine what you
already have created/saved and what you
need to prepare from scratch
Next Steps (Homework)
• Go to NCQA’s website and take
advantage of the various (free) training
presentations they have available:
– 2011 Standards
– Using the ISS Interactive Survey System
– Submitting As a Multi-Site Practice
• http://www.ncqa.org/tabid/109/Default.aspx
Next Steps (Homework)
• Begin To Think About 3 Important
Conditions (e.g. diabetes, asthma,
congestive heart failure, depression, etc)
that you can track over time
– Does your practice already follow evidencebased guidelines when caring for patients with
these conditions?
– Are these guidelines documented anywhere?
