2025 QI Project: Abdominal X-Rays | MOC Part 4 Credit

December 23, 2019 By Donna Pendarvis

SPUC members:  We have planned a QI project for the 2025 calendar year.  This project will run from February through October 2025 and will grant ABP MOC part 4 credit. The purpose of this project is to decrease the unnecessary use of abdominal x-rays in patients with constipation or abdominal pain.  We need your involvement to make this project a “MULTICENTER” project.  When joining SPUC in this project, you will have support with data collection, data review, run chart development and QI learnings to help have successful PDSA cycles.

By decreasing unnecessary radiographs of patients with abdominal complaints we hope to facilitate the following:

  1. Improve financial stewardship by decreasing costs associated with x-rays.
  2. Improve patient safety by reducing unnecessary radiation exposure.
  3. Improve efficiency of pediatric urgent care visits by decreasing time spent obtaining unneeded x-rays.

Here is our project timeline:

January 2025: Welcome online meeting

February-April 2025: 3 months of baseline data collection and first quarterly online educational session regarding QI topics.

May- October: 2 PDSA cycles with monthly data collection. 2 more quarterly online educational sessions along with monthly workgroup meetings.

November-December 2025: Project wrap up, submit and receive ABP MOC part 4 credit.

The project expectations are:

  1. Watch the educational sessions either in real time or afterwards (these will be recorded)
  2. Attend monthly work group meetings: February – October
  3. Review 10 of your patients charts a month (February to October) and put anonymous data into redcap.
  4. Help plan and implement 2 interventions at your local site.
