What it means to receive the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Recognition

The Patient-Centered Medical Home is a model of care that puts patients at the forefront. PCMHs build better relationships between people and their clinical care teams.  Research shows that they improve quality, the patient experience and staff satisfaction, while reducing health care costs.

NCQA’s Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition Program is the most widely adopted Patient-Centered Medical Home evaluation program in the country.  More than 12,000 practices (with more than 60,000 clinicians) are recognized by NCQA.  And more than 100 payers support NCQA recognition through financial incentives or coaching.

Practices that earn recognition through NCQA have made commitments to quality improvement within their practices and adopted a patient-centered approach to care that results in happier and healthier patients.
