The program will recognize ambulatory care providers that connect and communicate with primary care providers as they both care for shared patients. NCQA recognizes that patients will continue to receive care in nontraditional settings and they recognize that coordination of care “often suffers.”
The new program aligns with the patient-centered medical home model of care.
“I commend organizations who adopt this model,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Patient-Centered Connected Care Recognition is a giant leap to reform healthcare delivery because it includes ambulatory care settings as well as other medical providers outside of primary and specialty care in the connected and coordinated care community.”
