Aligning the PCMH With Patient Experience

May 24, 2022

Aligning the Patient Centered Medical Home With Patient Experience

Practices and health plans alike recognize the importance of patient experience to the overall quality of health care and fulfillment of the quadruple aim. This session will explore how PCMH standards align with patient experience measures such as the CAHPS® survey, and how the standards contribute to a positive patient experience. We will crosswalk between the standards and CAHPS survey questions (access to care and care coordination) and loo at activities that are not identified in the PCMH model but may affect patient experience; for example, wait times and doctor-patient conversations. We'll also share ideas from practices that can contribute to a positive patient experience.
