With a longstanding commitment to clinical quality improvement and patient safety, the AMA works to apply science to medicine in ways that help you ensure patients receive the highest-quality care.
Here you will discover how the AMA develops, tests, implements and disseminates evidence-based measures that reflect the best practice and best interest of medicine. Resources include a list of more than 260 current measures and information about positions the AMA takes on behalf of physicians on assessing cost efficiencies of care.
Safety for patients is intrinsic to quality care and the AMA is working to ensure safety in the delivery of care through its multi-faceted Making Strides in Safety® program, which encourages physician leadership and involvement. The program’s physician education tools, collaborative efforts and awareness campaigns aim to reduce medical errors—the cornerstone of the medical profession to “do no harm.
