The National Committee for Quality Assurance has released new standards for its Patient-Centered Medical Home program, which is aligned with meaningful use and can help primary care physicians adopt health IT in order to achieve incentive payments, according to an NCQA news release.
The new PCMH standards include parental decision-making, teen privacy and guardianship, communication between healthcare facilities about newborns’ lab results and guidelines for transitions from pediatric to adult care. The standards include meaningful use language, which officials say will encourage physicians to practice health IT and prepare them for meaningful use criteria.
