Thanks to support from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) is pleased to provide this virtual training around Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition for HRSA Region 3. This virtual training is hosted by the Pennsylvania PCA and will consist of two courses:

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

Training will be provided through a series of on-demand (recorded) lectures interspersed with live webinars for Q&A, polling, content review, and engagement with the training faculty. The required on-demand modules should be reviewed prior to each scheduled webinar session.

NCQA will provide the same continuing medical education credit and PCMH Certified Content Expert (CCE) maintenance of certification credit normally provided when this training is delivered as in-person seminars. Additionally, learners who complete both sessions will become eligible to sit for the CCE exam.

This training will include both on-demand (recorded) content and live webinars.

About this Webinar Training

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

This program is an in-depth guide to NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) requirements and the process for achieving PCMH Recognition. 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.

NCQA requirements are positioned to help clinicians qualify for the Merit-Based Incentive Performance System (MIPS) Improvement Activities and supports meeting the other MIPS categories under MACRA.

What You Will Learn

At the conclusion of the program, participants will have the knowledge they need to:

• 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.
• Outline the important features and functions of the Q-PASS system.
