4. NCQA Clinical Program Recognition Where Can It Be Used to Meet Elements? NCQA Clinical Recognition Programs  Diabetes Recognition Program (DRP)  Heart/Stroke Recognition Program (HSRP)  Back Pain Recognition Program (BPRP) Credit for Clinical Program Recognition may be used for meeting some requirements in 6 elements if the majority of clinicians are recognized  PCMH 3A, 3C (for selected conditions used for survey)  PCMH 6A, 6C, 6E, 6F

5. 6B Measure Patient/Family Experience Scoring and Documentation The practice obtains feedback on patient experience with the practice and their care: 1.The practice conducts survey measuring experience on at least three (3) of the following: access, communication, coordination, and whole-person care 2.The practice uses PCMH CAHPS- CG survey tool 3.The practice obtains feedback from vulnerable populations 4.The practice obtains feedback through qualitative means 4 Points Scoring  4 factors = 100%  3 factors = 75%  2 factors = 50%  1 factor = 25%  0 factors = 0% Documentation  Reports showing results of patient feedback

6. 6C Implement Continuous Quality Improvement Scoring and Documentation The practice uses an ongoing quality improvement process: 1.Set goals and act to improve performance on three (3) measures from Element 6A 2.Set goals and act to improve performance on one (1) measure from Element 6B 3.Set goals and address at least one (1) identified disparity in care for vulnerable populations 4.Involve patients in QI teams or on the practice’s advisory council Must Pass 4 Points Scoring  3-4 factors = 100%  2 factors = 50%  1 factor = 25%  0 factors = 0% Documentation  Report or completed PCMH Quality Measurement and Improvement Template  Process demonstrating how it involves patients/families in QI teams or advisory council

7. 6D Demonstrate Continuous Quality Improvement Scoring and Documentation The practice demonstrates ongoing monitoring of the effectiveness of its improvement process: 1.Tracks results over time 2.Assesses the effect of its actions 3.Achieves improved performance on one measure 4.Achieves improved performance on a second measure 3 Points Scoring  4 factors = 100%  3 factors = 75%  2 factors = 50%  1 factor = 25%  0 factors = 0% Documentation  Reports showing measures over time, recognition results, or completed Quality Improvement Measurement and Improvement Template
