Friday, September 17th, 2010 - Patient—centered Medical Home Learning Session II

Fri, 17 Sep 2010 00:00:00 -0700

So many changes and new expectations are coming our way from HRSA, CMS and NCQA, just to name a few, that this seems like a good time to pause, catch our breath and figure out what’s coming from where and how this will all impact your organization.  We know there is no true Patient—centered Medical Home without the ability to collect and use patient data for quality, outcomes and cost.

In this learning session, we will:

Review the new standards for NCQA PCMH.  Our first read of these standards suggests that we can expect much more complexity and depth than in the past.
Look at the new federal EMR meaningful use standards and how to meet many of those requirements by moving ahead with PCMH certification. 
Explore how to collect and use data to make meaningful improvements.  This is an opportunity to bring your data/IT person to the learning session!
Finally, we will update you on what we know about HRSA/CMS plans for a PCMH demonstration project.  MPCA staff will just be getting back from the National Association of Community Health Centers annual meeting in Dallas, so we will be full of news!
