Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Certification Training

Thanks to support from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) and CHCANYS is pleased to provide this virtual training around Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition.  

This virtual training will consist of two courses. You can register with the first two links below for the introductory and advanced courses or enroll for both courses at once.

About the courses: 

NCQA’s Introduction to PCMH Program: Foundational Concepts of the Medical Home (Jul 16, 2024 - Jul 25, 2024) (Region 2 HRSA Sponsored Introduction to PCMH Summer 2024 - (ncqa.org)) 

This program is an in-depth guide to the NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) requirements and the process for achieving PCMH Recognition. The Medical Home model emphasizes a practice-wide commitment to transformation by demonstrating key features such as population health management, care coordination and continuous quality improvement. 

At the conclusion of the program, participants will have the knowledge they need to: 

  • Explain the core attributes of patient-centered medical homes. 
  • Understand required evidence and best methods for presenting it to NCQA. 
  • Know the distinct roles of the NCQA Representative, Evaluator and PCMH CCE.  
  • Identify criteria relevant to different practice types to establish a pathway towards Recognition. 
  • Outline the important features and functions of the Q-PASS system. 

NCQA’s Advanced PCMH Program: Mastering the Medical Home Transformation (Jul 30, 2024 - Aug 6, 2024) (Region 2 HRSA Sponsored Advanced PCMH Training Summer 2024 - (ncqa.org)) 

This advanced course is intended for individuals who have applied NCQA PCMH Recognition requirements in the practice setting. It examines the PCMH standards and the assessment process. Participants will take a deeper dive to each PCMH Concept and explore the key characteristics of a successful medical home in this hands-on program. 

Faculty and participants will discuss evidence to support the core and elective criteria. The program also focuses on advanced topics such as the Distinction Modules, transfer credit and program benefits. Attendees will participate in facilitated activities that demonstrate how earning elective credits builds upon the Core criteria of a Competency.  NCQA faculty will incorporate topics on behavioral health integration, the importance of assessing the social determinants of patient health, engaging with patients and the community, and continuous quality improvement. 

At the conclusion of the program, participants will have the knowledge they need to: 

  • Discuss transfer credit and distinctions. 
  • Explain how elective criteria build upon core criteria within a competency. 
  • Examine opportunities and approaches to succeed in the PCMH model of care. 
  • Determine a strategy for preparing a practice for the three (3) virtual check-ins and begin to create a transformation plan. 
  • Describe the types of evidence a practice can provide to meet the intent of a criterion, competency, and concept. 

Training will be provided through a series of on-demand (recorded) lectures interspersed with live webinars for Q&A, polling, content review, and engagement with the training faculty. The required on-demand modules should be reviewed prior to each scheduled webinar session.  

NCQA will provide the same continuing medical education credit and PCMH Certified Content Expert (CCE) maintenance of certification credit normally provided when this training is delivered as in-person seminars. Additionally, learners who complete both sessions will become eligible to sit for the CCE exam. This training will include both on-demand (recorded) content and live webinars.
