Defining success at the National Level  Changes in asthma care practices and child health outcome  Successful implementation of practice system change  Clinician investment and commitment to quality improvement work  Transparency and sharing of improvement data  Increased clinician demand for CQN programming  Increased capacity for quality improvement work  Governance group engagement  Insight into successes and challenges to sustaining work at the chapter level  Key partnerships focused on improvement work  Funding for continued quality efforts  Increased chapter demand for CQN programming Practice/Individual Clinician Chapter

Improvement Work Continuous tests of changeSustainability Imbed in everyday work Scale Up & Spread Taking local improvement And actively disseminating it across a chapter and/or practice Next 6 months

National Efforts to Sustain Work  Continued CQN Project Support Short-term – EQIPP access through December - MOC eligibility through December Long-term - Working on business plan  Grant Opportunities AAP Venture Capital Proposal IPIP – “Transforming Primary Care” Grant Application to the Office of the National Coordinator of HIT Working with AAP Development Office on opportunities

Persistence Change is Hard

How can we spread QI? How do you envision the spread of quality measures in your local area? How have you engaged your senior leadership and how receptive have they been? What can we do better as we reach out to the practices? What is the best way to communicate- in person learning sessions, conference calls, listerv? What resources do you need at the practice level for QI? What other QI projects have you been working on or thinking about initiating in your area?

Next 90 Day Goals What do you want to do next? What do you need to do next? How can the AAP at the state and national level help you achieve your goals? 16

Next 180 Days What do you want us to work on at the state level to move the project forward? What is your vision for the project once we finish collecting data in September? How will we measure success?
