The Clinical Assessment Program (CAP) for Residencies provides
a mechanism for osteopathic residency programs to measure and improve the quality
of patient care they provide their patients. In CAP, current clinical practices
are measured and compared with evidence-based practice guidelines representing
state-of-the-art professional standards of care.
The CAP initiative is designed for osteopathic primary care residency programs.
Family practice residency programs are participating under a requirement for
accreditation by the American College of Osteopathic Family Physicians. Internal
medicine residency programs are participating under a requirement for accreditation
by the American College of Osteopathic Internists.
The CAP project analyzes data abstracted directly from patient’s medical
records to determine the current performance of residents and the impact and
effectiveness of residency program treatment protocols in meeting selected standards
of practice for certain selected clinical categories of patients.
