Objectives for Webinar
• Overview of the principles and benefits of NCQA
PCMH recognition.
• Understand the basic elements of the PCMH
standards, self-assessment and survey application
process.
• Identify the next steps for Community Health
Alliance.

Principles for the Patient-Centered
Medical Home

• Personal physician/clinician
• Team-based care
• Whole person orientation
• Enhanced access (with continuity)
• Coordinated & integrated care
• Quality & safety prioritized
• Payment for the value provided

Medical Home: What it Looks Like
• A health care setting that provides patients with:
– well-organized & on-time visits
– enhanced access with their own provider & care team for continuity (same
day appointment availability, 24/7 telephone access, alternatives to the 1:1
visit)
– proactive care management (evidence-based clinical care, panel
management, reminder systems, registries)
– care coordination across settings (assistance with referrals, tracking for
tests & referrals; care during transitions)
– patient activation, engagement & participation in decisions on care
(patient centered  customer driven)
– connections to community resources to extend resources for care
– focus on health outcomes & goals for improvement
– use of Health IT as tool to support the achievement of advanced primary
care practice

Functional and Clinical Outcomes

From Purpose To Practice: A Continuing Journey
Of Commitment

• PCMH focus is a continuation of the purpose-
driven journey of FQHCs
• Opportunity: continue our work to transform
practice to the highest levels of performance and
to obtain recognition for this achievement
• Recognition as a medical home is increasingly
associated with opportunities for enhanced
payment for the value created.

NCQA 2011 Standards
• NCQA released its latest standards, PCMH 2011
in January 2011
• The new standards direct practices to organize
care according to patients’ preferences and
needs, and reinforce federal “meaningful use”
incentives for primary care practices to adopt
health information technology
– Meaningful use criteria (all 25) are in the standards
– Creates virtuous cycle for PCMH & MU

2011 NCQA PCMH Standards
1. Enhance Access and Continuity
2. Identify and Manage Patient
Populations
3. Plan and Manage Care
4. Provide Support for Self-Care
5. Track and Coordinate Care
6. Measure and Improve Performance

NCQA 2011 – Standards & Intent
• Access and Continuity: Provide team-based care with access and
advice during and after hours and patient/family information
about medical home
• Identify and Manage Patient Populations: Acquire and use data
for care of the practice’s population
• Plan and Manage Care: Use evidence-based guidelines for
preventive, acute and chronic care management for
chronic, frequent and behavior-based conditions, including
medication management
• Self-Care: Support patient and family in self-care with
information, tools and community resources
• Track and Coordinate Care: Track and coordinate tests, referrals
and transitions of care
• Performance Measurement and Quality Improvement: Use
performance and patient experience data for continuous quality
improvement

Recognition & Transformation

“Recognition… is only the beginning of a journey for continuous
improvement and cultural transformation.

NCQA’s rigorous standards challenge a practice to examine nearly
every aspect of its operations. The evolution to a PCMH is a
serious undertaking — one that rewards patients with more
coordinated, focused and safer care, and rewards providers
with greater satisfaction in practicing medicine.”
- Marjie Harbrecht, MD
CEO, HealthTeamWorks, Colorado

Multiple Reinforcing Efforts to Support
PCMH Development in FQHCs
• HRSA BPHC QI Supplemental Grant ‘12-’13
– PCMH Cervical Cancer Screening, Apply by June 1
• HRSA PCMHH Initiative to Support FQHCs to
achieve NCQA Recognition
– Education for PCAs and FQHCs around recognition; covers all
fees for survey process
• NACHC Leadership Institute
– National initiative to create design, methods, tools to
facilitate work by PCAs and FQHCs for sustainable system
transformation to PCMHs
