QI/PIP Credit

IHHC/QI/PIP Credits for Lab Accreditation

Your dedication maintaining high standards in the accreditation and reaccreditation process isn’t just valuable for the lab-it is an opportunity to earn IHHC/QI/PIP credits. PIP credits are available to individuals who complete either the initial application or the five-year reaccreditation process.

ABPMR

The ABPMR offers two pathways for claiming Improving Health and Healthcare (IHHC - previously Quality Improvement, or QI) credits: 

Option 1: As the lead physician overseeing the accreditation process, you are eligible for IHHC/PIP credit upon successful accreditation. This recognizes your leadership in driving quality improvement.

Option 2: All physicians in the laboratory can earn IHHC/PIP credit by completing a simple two-step review of patient reports, reinforcing their commitment to quality and enhancing patient care. More information will be provided on Step 3 of the accreditation/reaccreditation application.
