Funded by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, these grants will help clinicians enhance diagnostic performance in ophthalmology, lung cancer detection, lupus nephritis, and pediatric conditions. UCSF and CMSS will also coordinate cross-specialty learning to identify best practices.

Implementation Grant Recipients:

  • American Academy of Ophthalmology – Diagnostic Performance Feedback for Ophthalmology through the IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight)
  • American College of Radiology – Implementation of the Early Detection of Lung Cancer Registry Supporting Diagnostic Performance Feedback
  • American College of Rheumatology – Feedback on Diagnostic Pathway Adherence at Scale for the Timely Diagnosis of Lupus Nephritis in Routine Clinical Practice: Leveraging the American College of Rheumatology’s RISE Registry
  • American Academy of Pediatrics – Improving Diagnostic Excellence through Pediatric Primary Care Performance Feedback: CHILD Registry*
