Reported Outcomes
Description:
This program is offered to practices that are either patient-centered medical home (PCMH) certified or in the certification process. These practices must meet HEDIS and clinical initiative targets and have made progress addressing some of the requirements necessary to transform their practice in order to become successful population health managers. For example PCMH program participants have implemented electronic medical records and likely use electronic prescribing systems. Additionally, they have made other infrastructure changes, including the use of a care coordinator in the practice. This program offers a care coordination fee to address the cost of infrastructure development and PCMH certification.
