The program was introduced by the American Society of Anesthesiologists and aimed to satisfy the American Board of Anesthesiology requirements for Maintenance of Certification in Anesthesiology. The study examined 634 participants, who listed at least three practice improvement plans they would implement after the course.

Researchers found that 94 percent of participants reported successfully implementing at least one improvement plan within three months after the course, and 79 percent reported implementing three or more practice improvements within the same period.
