Quality

The AANEM works with physicians who specialize in neuromuscular (NM) and electrodiagnostic (EDX) medicine with a mission to define quality of care, develop quality measures and promote quality improvement initiatives for EDX and neuromuscular medicine.

 

Quality Measures

Quality measures are tools that help to measure or quantify healthcare processes, outcomes and patient perceptions that are associated with providing high-quality health care.

Quality Care

The AANEM is committed to supporting the Choosing Wisely® campaign with the goal of ensuring high-quality, cost-effective care to patients. The AANEM has identified five tests and procedures that both doctors and patients should carefully consider and openly discuss before incorporating them into a treatment plan.
