ACHS Peer Group Comparison - Emergency Medicine

Established in 1989, the ACHS Clinical Indicator Program (CIP) is a data repository, analysis, and reporting service available to international healthcare organizations to support quality improvement initiatives.  

Purpose:

The purpose of the CIP is to provide healthcare organizations with international benchmarking of their clinical performance in order to flag processes, systems, and outcomes that may require improvement. Each of our clinical indicators is also mapped to the criteria within our EQuIP standards making it easier for our members to utilize the CIP to support assessment and evaluation to achieve one of the ACHS International available quality programs.
