Practice Based Learning & Improvement vs. Systems-based Practice Practice Based Learning & Improvement (PBLI) occurs when a physician analyzes and improves his or her own practice behaviors; it pertains to improvements that an individual physician can personally make. Self-improvement is central to PBLI. Systems-based Practice (SBP) occurs when a physician practices medicine that is mindful of the interdependency between the health care system and his or her own practice. If improvements are needed, the relevant system is examined and several providers may have to change their behaviors.
