We're recognized as a Patient-Centered Medical Home!
Signature Health is proud to be a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home program reflects the input of the American College of Physicians (ACP), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and others. It was developed to assess whether clinician practices are functioning as medical homes and recognize them for these efforts.
“NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition raises the bar in defining high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology and coordinated care focused on patients,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Recognition shows that Signature Health has the tools, systems and resources to provide its patients with the right care, at the right time.”
The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home standards emphasize the use of systematic, patient-centered, coordinated care that supports access, communication and patient involvement.
The Medical Home Model of Care
Now that Signature Health is a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH), it's important know what this means for you and your family. A Medical Home is a medical office or clinic where a team of healthcare professionals works together to provide care to their patients. When patients receive their care in a medical home, they can expect to receive evidence-based care from the staff on their Medical Team. Some of the evidence-based guidelines Signature Health uses are:
- US Preventive Service Task Force for adult and pediatric health
- American Diabetes Association
- American Heart Association
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA)
- Other guidelines
The Medical Home model of care is a team-based approach to Primary Care, which means care is coordinated across multiple settings such as hospitals, emergency departments and other facilities as well as referrals to specialists and behavioral health providers. Signature Health values our patients’ health and provides our patients with education and self-management tools to manage their care at home. Some of the tools we provide are:
- Blood pressure home monitoring equipment
- Weight management logs
- Smoking cessation counseling and support
Signature Health operates as a medical home, and we can do it effectively when patients and families provide a complete medical history and information about care obtained outside of our practice. If you get care from other health professionals, please notify your Medical Home Team. We will assist you in selecting or changing your Primary Care provider at any time.
“The primary care here is awesome! I love my nurse and my doctor.”
