Person- and Family-Centered Care Design
Welcome to the Person- and Family-Centered Care Design module, an ABFM-approved Performance Improvement (PI) activity eligible for PI credits toward Family Medicine Certification Requirements. This module will assist you in identifying and implementing key concepts related to patient- and family-centered care.
As you complete this module, you will receive hands-on practice in evaluating care measure outcomes; identifying measures for improvement; and devising a method, or intervention, to improve care through collaboration with a patient and his/her family. The “10 Building Blocks of High Performing Care” are described and integrated into the work required to complete this module.
As change and success are more readily accomplished as a team, you are encouraged to involve your staff in determining what kind of intervention would best benefit your patients and practice and in developing the plan for implementing the intervention.
If you wish to receive credit from ABFM, the following criteria must be met.
- Submissions must be completed within a 12-month window (not calendar year).
- Your intervention must be created and implemented specifically for this module. Previous performance improvement activities cannot be repurposed for these credits.
- You must implement your intervention for at least 7 days. Note that all submissions within the module are timestamped. Therefore, submit your pre-intervention plan prior to implementing your intervention. Submit your post-intervention data and plan upon completion of your intervention.
Unless you fulfill these obligations, you will only receive a certificate of completion at the end of this module.

- Develop and implement a quality improvement plan using SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely) goals.
- Apply knowledge gained from a post-intervention data audit to improve their intervention via a second Plan Do Study Act (PDSA) cycle.
