Behavioral health issues such as addiction, anxiety and depression are often thought of as secondary health issues. But to positively impact health outcomes, it is important to deliver comprehensive integrated care that addresses a person’s physical and behavioral health care needs.
To help support professionals in providing integrated care services, we are delivering a series of office-based training sessions. Offerings are targeted for primary care physicians (PCPs), skilled nursing facilities/assisted living facilities and behavioral health professionals.
Many clinicians have terrific ideas for improving the quality and cost of health care, but often don’t know how to navigate the often baffling landscape of payment and delivery reform options. To address this need in clear, practical terms, we are pleased to announce the secondMEDTalk event in the “Merkin Series on Innovations in Care Delivery.” The series is designed to support clinicians and policymakers who’ve always wondered how delivery reform occurs, but didn’t know where to begin.
More than 7,000 NCQA-Recognized Patient-Centered Medical Homes practices and almost 36,000 recognized clinicians have proved the strong relevance of the NCQA PCMH Standards to the Triple Aim. The 2014 standards emphasizes team-based care with a significant focus on the care management of high-need populations along with the integration of behavioral health. We have aligned the Quality Improvement (QI) activities with the Triple Aim and positioned the NCQA requirements to qualify for Meaningful Use Stage 2.
The NCQA’s Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition (PCMH) program plays an integral role in practice transformation and the improvement of quality health care. This advanced seminar further examines the criteria of the PCMH 2014 Standards. With the newly updated standards, released in the spring of 2014, we are setting the bar higher for practices to strive for excellence. We will take a deeper dive into the standards by helping to identify the challenges one may face based on historical data and advisory panel feedback.
This program was formerly named Facilitating PCMH 2014 Recognition. More than 7,000 NCQA-Recognized Patient-Centered Medical Homes practices and almost 37,000 recognized clinicians have proved the strong relevance of the NCQA PCMH Standards to the Triple Aim. The 2014 standards emphasizes team-based care with a significant focus on the care management of high-risk populations along with the integration of behavioral health.
The National Committee for Quality Assurance—architect of America’s most popular patient-centered medical home model—has extended the medical home concept to specialists and released its latest program: NCQA Patient-Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP) Recognition.
Now specialty practices committed to access, communication and care coordination can earn accolades as the “neighbors” that surround and inform the medical homes and colleagues in primary care.

More than 6,500 NCQA-Recognized Patient-Centered Medical Homes practices and over 33,000 recognized clinicians have proved the strong relevance of the NCQA PCMH Standards. The 2014 standards place more emphasis on team-based care with a significant focus on the care management of high-need populations and the integration of behavioral health. We have set the bar higher in terms of our positioning of Quality Improvement (QI) activities with the triple aim and continued alignment of Meaningful Use (MU).
On June 19th, BPC’s Health Project will host a policy forum on delivery system reform, focusing on the transition from a volume-based to value-based health care delivery system. In April of 2013, the Health Project issued a report, A Bipartisan Rx for Patient-Centered Care and System-Wide Cost Containment, which laid out policy recommendations to put our nation’s public and private health care delivery system on a pathway to improved quality and value. Over the course of the next year, Health Project leaders former Senate Majority Leaders Tom Daschle and Bill Frist will be joined by forme
