Description
Summary:[...]2 of the most prevalent issues involve changes to the American Board of Internal Medicine's (ABIM's) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) process, as well as what seems like a marked increase in the number of studies denied by payers, despite physician use of evidence-based appropriate use criteria (AUC) and clinical practice guidelines. According to the ABIM website, its mission is "to enhance the quality of health care by certifying internists and subspecialists who demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and attitudes essential for excellent patient care" (1).
