Introduction to PCMH: Foundational Concepts of the Medical Home

This program was formerly named Facilitating PCMH 2014 Recognition. More than 8,000 NCQA-Recognized Patient-Centered Medical Homes practices and almost 50,000 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. We have aligned the Quality Improvement (QI) activities with the Triple Aim and positioned the NCQA requirements to qualify for Meaningful Use Stage 2.

Join us for a thorough review of the PCMH 2014 standards. We’ll practice scoring elements and examining documentation that supports an application towards becoming a recognized patient centered medical home with NCQA.

At the conclusion of this educational program, the participant will be able to:

• Examine the essential characteristics of a recognized patient-centered medical home.
• Identify the measurement and documentation criteria for each of NCQA’s updated requirements.
• Facilitate the NCQA survey and evaluation process.

Seats are limited. Early registration is highly recommended. This seminar tends to sell out quickly. Please note: A seat is not secured until payment is received and processed by NCQA.

Completion of this seminar is an eligibility requirement for NCQA’s Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Content Expert Certification Program.*

*PLEASE NOTE: This course together with the Advanced PCMH: Mastering the Medical Home are the prerequisite courses to sit for the PCMH Content Expert Certification exam.
