When it comes to health care, quality matters. Patients can better choose a primary care doctor or hospital by understanding a clinic's standards. This is why the primary care doctors at Patient Choice Medical Care in Hamden, CT, are proud to announce that they are nationally recognized from the National Center for Quality Insurance — NCQA — as a patient-centered medical home.

Patient-Centered Medical Care aims to provide patients with comprehensive care to better meet their mental and physical health care needs. This is done by building relationships between the clinical care team and patients. The team may include physicians, nurses, pharmacists, nutritionists, therapists, and care coordinators.

This approach is also designed to help patients learn to manage and organize their own care so they can get treatment when they want and need it. In turn, this improves both the patient experience and staff satisfaction while reducing health care costs. Some of the main features of a patient-centered home include shorter wait times for urgent care and round-the-clock access to a member of their care team.

If your practice earns recognition through NCQA, it means you have made a commitment to creating stronger relationships with your patient and provide better support and communication.
