Cabarrus Family Medicine earns national recognition,magic cube
Cabarrus Family Medicine-Concord is one of Carolina HealthCare Systems medical practices that was recently recognized by the National Committee on Quality Assurance a private non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality and standards.The recognition is called The Physicians Practice Connection Patient Centered Medical Home. Practices that received recognition are a part of the NCQAs Patient-Centered Medical Home an program for improving primary care with a specific criteria set. The program gives practices information about organizing care around patients working in teams and coordinating and tracking care over time.
This recognition validates the hard work of the medical professional at our practices to create an environment that places patients first and makes them a full partner in their medical care Paul Franz CHS executive vice president Physicians Services Group said.The differences patients will see in a medical hom environment include improved access to care through several avenues including easier appointment making capabilities a greater responsiveness from the staff in responding to messages left by patients a greater use of email and online resources and better chronic disease management.
We were recognized for achievement as a patient centered medical home Dr. Mark Robinson a family medicine physician at Cabarrus Family Medicine-Concord said. There is a series of nine standards that range from access and continuity of care to chronic disease management and electronic prescribing.Robinson explained that there are really no uniformed standards for medical practices to follow and new patients in search of a good physician or medical practice get most of their information from word of mouth to evaluate local medical practices. Now there is recognition for those who follow a strict set of standards.
The challenging thing about understanding medical home is a lot of it is under the hoodunder the hood of the car that people expect to be in place Robinson said. With medical homeyou have to prove that you are doing messaging in a timely manner that youre providing chronic disease care meeting certain goals and electronic record keeping to track that care.Reference Address:
