Call for “Best Practices” in Quality Improvement

July 28, 2015 · NCQA

Do you know a practice that has an impressive Quality Improvement (QI) process? Would you like to share your knowledge with other aspiring and continuing PCMH practices? NCQA seeks practices willing to share their experiences and QI best practices.

Your practice’s story could help other practices understand quality improvement and contribute to the quality care delivered in the neighborhood of practices and providers that surround and inform the medical home.

At our educational sessions, practices often ask us to give examples of documentation, but one size does not fit all when it comes to quality improvement. It’s critical to understand the foundational processes necessary to transform into and sustain the PCMH. There are many ways to implement improvement processes, and NCQA is interested in hearing unique stories that represent the diversity of primary care practice transformation.

Interested practices will be asked to participate in a brief phone call to describe their QI processes and experiences. We will summarize their work and display it on a poster at an upcoming PCMH educational session. To participate, contact Crissy Crittenden (crittenden@ncqa.org) and Nicole Acciavatti (acciavatti@ncqa.org).
