Medical Group Primary Care Offices Receive NCQA Recognition
November 4, 2023Categories: Awards and Recognition
Nine Trinity Health Of New England Medical Group primary care offices in the Waterbury market have been recertified by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), earning Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition (PCMH). This is the most widely adopted PCMH evaluation program in the country. These Medical Group Primary Care locations received their initial certifications in October 2021 and successfully renewed recognition in 2022 and 2023.
Cheshire Primary Care, East End Primary Care, East Main Internal Medicine, Naugatuck Internal Medicine, Prospect Primary Care Partners, Southbury Internal Medicine, Watertown Internal Medicine, and Wolcott Internal Medicine provide adult primary and subspecialty care. The Family Health Center in Waterbury provides care to adult and pediatric patients who may have barriers to accessing health services or are at risk of facing health disparities, whether economic, geographic, or social.
The patient-centered medical home is a model of care that puts patients at the forefront of care. PCMHs build better relationships between patients and their clinical care teams. Research shows that PCMHs improve quality and the patient experience, reduce health care costs and increase staff satisfaction. Practices that earn recognition have made a commitment to continuous quality improvement and a patient-centered approach to care.
“We are extremely proud to have our clinics recognized as Patient-Centered Medical Homes,” said Joshua Mosdale, M.D., Chief of Primary Care at Trinity Health Of New England Medical Group. “Maintaining status as a Patient-Centered Medical Home requires a lot of work behind the scenes and is a significant achievement. It is important for us to provide a regular care team for our patients, so they can build relationships and maintain stability of care.”
