Summary Benchmarks

Summary Benchmarks

Do you rely on the evidence-based recommendations of the Preferred Practice Patterns (PPPs), but wish you could quickly locate key clinical information, perhaps during a patient visit? The Summary Benchmarks contain the most relevant information contained in the PPPs, condensed for ease of access. Guidelines and Assessments are developed by the Quality of Care Secretariat of the Academy without any external financial support.
