MediSys Hollis, one of Jamaica Hospital Medical Center’s family health care facilities was recently awarded Level Three National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) – Patient Centered Medical Home 2011 status.
All nine of the MediSys’ Family Health Centers at Jamaica Hospital and the Ambulatory Care Center at Flushing Hospital have now achieved this status.
NCQA’s Patient Centered Medical Home 2011 (PCMH) is an innovative program for improving patient-centered primary care delivery. The objectives of the program include:
- Establishing long-term partnerships between clinicians and patients, instead of a series of hurried and sporadic visits.
- Clinician led teams who coordinate prevention and chronic condition care for patients.
- The promotion of shared decisions by medical teams, which will enable patients to make informed choices and get better results.
This model of quality assurance was created with a key focus on providing stellar primary healthcare and patient satisfaction. MediSys Health Network’s ability to secure this designation for its outpatient care centers at Jamaica Hospital and Flushing Hospital is a reflection of the networks dedication to ensuring that patients receive the highest level of care at all times.
