NCQA Recognition

NCQA's Physician Practice Connections®- Patient-Centered Medical Home™
(PPC-PCMH) recognition program reflects the input of the
     *  American College of Physicians
     *  American Academy of Family Physicians
     *  American Academy of Pediatrics
     *  American Osteopathic Association
and others in the revision of Physician Practice Connections® to assess whether physician
practices are functioning as medical homes.

Building on the Joint Principles developed by the primary care specialty societies, the PPC-PCMH standards developed in 2008 emphasize the use of systematic, patient-centered,
coordinated care management processes.  Revised standards will be released in 2011.
