Commitment to Change

Now that you have participated in this activity, please take a moment to consider making changes in your practice as a result.

The categories listed below represent potential areas of improvement. You can list up to 2 specific, measurable changes in each category.

Examples of specific, measurable changes:

  • Regularly screen my patients with diabetes for clinical depression with PHQ-9 questionnaires.
  • Teach my medical assistant to perform spirometry correctly by having her view a video and then assessing her skill.
  • Set up a registry of patients with diabetes to be able to track those most in need of repeat visits.

We advise that you limit your overall commitment to no more than 3 changes toward which you are willing to work over the next several months. You will indicate your preferred timeline for the follow-up to this commitment to change at the bottom of the page.
