primary care practices are now Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Homes. According to the NCQA, the Patient-Centered Medical Home is a model of care that emphasizes care coordination and communication to transform primary care into “what patients want it to be.” Research shows that medical homes can lead to safer and better care, empowers patients and renews the patient-provider relationship.
This recognition demonstrates our drive to offer high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology and coordinated care focused on our patients,” says Tina Walden, executive director of Northeast Georgia Physicians Group. “NGPG is proud and honored to be recognized by NCQA and will strive to continue to improve quality of care, communication and patient satisfaction in our community.”
