(firmenpresse) - PHOENIX, AZ -- (Marketwire) -- 09/10/12 -- Nine additional sites, part of Maricopa Integrated Health System's wide-network of health care services across Maricopa County, have each earned National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Recognitions.
Each site received Level 3 NCQA Recognition as Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) -- the highest PCMH designation that can be received through the organization. In order to receive this recognition, patient centered medical homes must achieve nine NCQA standards, including care management, patient self-management and support, and advanced electronic communication.
The three-year NCQA certification demonstrates Maricopa Integrated Health Care System's ongoing commitment to strengthening our relationship between patients and their personal clinicians. The patient centered medical home is a model of care that is emerging as an important delivery model in health care reform.
