With Ovid Synthesis, organizations access a centralized, evidence-based platform that streamlines quality initiatives, accelerates measurable outcomes, and delivers clear financial and operational returns—transforming QI, which is traditionally viewed as a cost center, into a strategic advantage. This will help alleviate the time-consuming process of compiling and submitting QI documentation, allowing clinicians to focus on improving patient care while still receiving formal credit for their work. The tasks completed will support the ABMS strategic priority to ensure continued education and learning as a core component of certification.
Streamlining QI certification processes
The ABMS Portfolio Program works with leading hospitals, academic medical centers, medical associations, specialty societies, and government agencies across the United States to recognize the work physicians and physician assistants are already doing to improve their practices and the care of their patients. To date, more than 30,000 ABMS diplomates have received credit for QI work in areas such as preventive care, patient safety, specific disease treatment protocols, resource stewardship, and systems issues. In addition, ABMS Portfolio Program Sponsors have reported significant cost savings, including one hospital system that calculated its annual savings at $900,000 in reduced administrative and physician work hours.
“This collaboration with Wolters Kluwer’s Ovid Synthesis platform will help further streamline the often time-consuming process of compiling and submitting a physician’s QI continuing certification credit documentation,” said Greg Ogrinc, MD, MS, Senior Vice President, Certification Standards and Programs for the ABMS. “This will enable physicians to focus more of their time and effort on activities that will directly improve patient care and safety.”
