The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) and many
private insurers are now offering financial rewards for becoming a
Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH). Unlike the traditional
fee-for-service care delivery model which emphasizes transaction
volume, this alternative emphasizes quality, integrated care and has
shown promise in enhancing patient outcomes while reducing system-wide
cost.
This informative one-hour introduction to PCMH includes
two expert speakers. Paige Cooke, Manager of External Relations for
NCQA's Clinician Recognition Programs, provides an overview of the
model. Shawn Tester, COO/CIO at Ammonoosuc Community
Health Services and a GE Healthcare Centricity Practice Solution
customer, illustrates how this alternative approach to medicine
supported by today's advanced technology has helped the center deliver
better value to the system.
Learning objectives:
Defining characteristics and benefits of the PCMH.
How a practice becomes recognized as a PCMH.
Why collaborative care is so important.
The significance of a data-driven approach in initiatives to enhance patient outcomes.
Centricity Practice Solution 11 is PCMH prevalidated by NCQA to receive autocredit toward NCQA's PCMH 2011 scoring.

Information on how to use Search
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
AND example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
OR example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
NOT example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.
