Parrish Medical Group Awarded NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Certification

SPACE COAST, FLA. (August 12, 2024)—Parrish Medical Group Primary Care Practices, with locations in Titusville and Port St. John, have again been awarded the highest level of certification (level 3) as Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMH) from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), the most widely adopted evaluation program in the United States. Through a rigorous review process conducted by the NCQA, PMG has earned this distinction since 2015.

“NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition raises the bar in defining high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology and coordinated care focused on patients,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Recognition shows that Parrish Medical Group has the tools, systems and resources to provide its patients with the right care, at the right time.”

The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home program reflects the input of the American College of Physicians (ACP), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and American Osteopathic Association (AOA) and others. It was developed to assess whether clinician practices are functioning as medical homes and recognize them for these efforts. The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home standards emphasize the use of systematic, patient-centered, coordinated care that supports access, communication and patient involvement.

“As health care providers, the patient is always at the center and forefront of everything we do,” said Parrish Medical Group Medical Director Kevat B. Patel, MD, MSc, CHCQM, FACP. “Earning the PCMH certification from the NCQA affirms our dedication and adherence to the superior clinical and patient experience standards that our patients expect and absolutely deserve.”
