CCE Quarterly: Building an Organizational Culture of Quality: Sustaining PCMH

PCMH and PCSP Recognition is achieved through true practice transformation. This requires hard work and dedication, but that commitment does not stop with Recognition. There are many paths to achieving and sustaining a successful Patient-Centered practice—they do not all look alike and generally consider local circumstances and preferences.

Recognition requirements for sustainment are designed to foster continuous improvement, highlighting how the practice strengthens its foundation and, as a result, patient care year over year. Join us for a discussion of best practices for sustaining PCMH and PCSP Recognition and hear from CCE Award winner, Thomasene Barnes, about how her organization, NY Hospitals + Health, has implemented advanced strategies to sustain their patient-centered organization.
