Titusville Family Practice
Designated PatientCentered Medical Home
National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has awarded
Titusville Family Practice with a Level 3 certification (the highest level awarded) as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH).
Measuring and encouraging improvement in patient care is an important endeavor for NCQA. This certification was an initiative of the
Florida Health Network.
A PCMH is not a place or a destination. It is a primary care organizational model and refers to the way in which care is organized for the
patient. The goal is to transform and redesign healthcare using five
joint principles, which are based on six evaluation standards.
These five principles are:
Comprehensive Care: Providing a full spectrum of services
for both physical and mental health.
1
2
3
patient-Centered Care: A partnership between the doctor, the
patient and the family.
Coordinated and integrated Care: How the care is coordinated between providers and care settings, such as specialty
care, home health, acute care and community resources.
4
aCCessible serviCes or enhanCed aCCess: Shorter waiting
times to speak to a physician or a practice, including extended
hours, and telephone or electronic communication (email).
5
system-based approaCh to quality: Uses guidelines and
tools to measure performance and identify gaps in care.
Titusville Family Practice is just the first of the Parrish Medical
Group (NBMS) to undergo this certification process.
