Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy

To assess possible areas of improvement, you will complete an assessment that asks to what extent you or your practice:

• identifies early signs of CIDP to prevent delays in diagnosis
• ensures an accurate diagnosis of CIDP and its variants
• performs guideline-recommended electrophysiologic tests to support a clinical diagnosis of CIDP
• ensures that patients with CIDP receive guideline-recommended first-line treatment
• implements processes and assessments to understand patients’ disability and strength impairment to guide treatment decisions
• establishes processes to monitor treatment response and optimize therapy

You will receive a report card that summarizes your or your practice’s performance relative to areas assessed. This serves as your baseline and guides development of your personalized action items.

Working with our expert faculty, we followed a Model for Improvement that outlines the aims of this program and its measures of success. We provide educational and practical interventions, but you can develop your own to meet your specific needs. Depending on your baseline assessment, interventions you can implement include:

• Enhanced training
• Communication strategies
• Personalized action items to track based on the nuanced needs of your practice
• Team-based approaches to address disparities
• Patient education

Once you’ve finished the interventions and have introduced the recommended process changes, it’s time to put them to the test!

We recommend you share these findings with key stakeholders in your organization to reflect on ongoing improvements and/or future opportunities.
