NCQA’s Introduction to PCMH Program: Foundational Concepts of the Medical Home

The Medical Home model emphasizes a practice-wide commitment to transformation by demonstrating key features such as population health management, care coordination and continuous quality improvement.

  • Explain the core attributes of patient-centered medical homes.
  • Understand required evidence and best methods for presenting it to NCQA.
  • Know the distinct roles of the NCQA Representative, Evaluator and PCMH CCE. 
  • Identify criteria relevant to different practice types to establish a pathway towards Recognition.
