Quality Reporting
If you’re thinking about applying for PCMH recognition, OP Medical Home (OPMH) reports will make your submission much easier to assemble. OPMH compiles reports across the concepts, competencies and criteria as defined by the official NCQA standards, such as:
- Average time for telephone and email responses
- Same-day access
- Care Management
- Follow up on newborn screenings
- Assessment of language needs
- Quality improvement
- Reports filtered by date range, provider or location
Recognition in medical home programs is often rewarded by payers. OPMH makes it possible to qualify for additional reimbursement from any payer that accepts NCQA’s PCMH Recognition or participates in a pay-for-performance program.
