"Road to Recognition" -- Tools & Tips for Your Journey

Don’t be daunted by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Physician Practice Connections – Patient Centered Medical Home (PPC-PCMH^TM) Standards. While achieving medical home recognition through the NCQA requires measuring and documenting what makes your practice a medical home, the AAFP has produced Road to Recognition, a guide to simplify the process.

Recognizing that no two homes are alike, this guide was developed to help you choose the level of medical home recognition that you wish to achieve and determine which NCQA elements your practice will document to achieve your goal. The guide is intended as a supplement to the NCQA Standards and Guidelines and the NCQA Survey Tool.
