Vim & Vigor - Summer 2013 - Parrish Medical Center - (Page 7)

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.
