WASHINGTON, D.C. — The National Committee for Quality Assurance announced that Crestview Health Center has received NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition.
The center earned the recognition for using evidence-based, patient-centered processes that focus on highly coordinated care and longâ€term relationships.
The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home is a model of primary care that combines teamwork and information technology to improve care, improve patients’ experience of care and reduce costs.
Medical homes foster ongoing partnerships between patients and their personal clinicians, instead of approaching care as the sum of episodic office visits. Each patient’s care is overseen by clinician-led care teams that coordinate treatment across the health care system.
To earn NCQA recognition, which is valid for three years, Crestview Health Center demonstrated the ability to meet the program’s key elements, embodying characteristics of the medical home, according to a news release.
