Professional Data Portfolio vs ECHO On

The Professional Data Portfolio helps physicians track their clinical performance data and continuing education needed for maintenance of certification and licensure. Clinical performance data aids participation in clinical practice improvement efforts while also providing practice administrators a way to manage physicians’ quality improvement activities, submit evidence of completion to various medical boards to maintain MOC and receive reimbursement through the CMS Merit-based Incentive System (MIPS) . Continuing education is tracked through credit trackers. Using a member’s ACC transcript, the tracker will plot the credits/points earned against a clinicians certification and licensure requirements. Key features include: •         A mobile-friendly view of NCDR clinical performance data to review and track ongoing quality performance. •         Ability to create, track progress, and document implementation of self-guided clinical quality activities based on NCDR data. •         Ability to submit clinical practice improvement activities to medical specialty boards for MOC credit. •         Ability to submit improvement activities to CMS’ MIPS program for reimbursement. • Create and track your continuing education credits and/or maintenance of certification points needed for certification and licensure.

ECHO On is a free medical education resource for learning Transesophageal Echocardiography including a free, enlarging question bank, a Rescue TEE cognitive aid, a Case Log system for submission to the NBE, and a growing perioperative Quick Reference library with offline echo loops that work even in the OR without internet access, and includes pathology examples, techniques, and normal loops of the heart. ECHO On will walk you through an entire standard 28 view exam teaching you the anatomy, function and Doppler interrogations you should perform at each view, and how to interpret them. ECHO On is and will remain free, and the best way you can contribute is to submit boards-style questions or echo stills and echo loops to help grow the QBank, Quick Reference and Pathology libraries. Disclaimer: This app was written to provide an accessible perioperative tool for residents and fellows learning TEE in the cardiac OR and ICU, and for generalist anesthesiologists looking to refresh their knowledge of TEE. It is not meant for patients to self-diagnose. It is not meant to be a definitive reference. Despite my best efforts, there may be errors or inaccuracies in this app, so please do not use it for medical decision making, as doing so may lead you misdiagnose or seriously harm your patient. If you are not a qualified medical doctor, please see a qualified medical doctor before making any medical decisions, including those based on echocardiograms.
