New York State Patient-Centered Medical Home
This program evaluates clinicians and practices that use teamwork and technology to
deliver coordinated and patient-centered primary care.
PRACTICE
Usha Thomas MD PC – We obtained the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Certification in 2020
and are proud to be part of this great program and thank the NYS Department of Health for all their help
and support.
New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) has partnered with the National Committee on
Quality Assurance (NCQA) to create New York State Patient-Centered Medical Home (NYS PCMH),
a PCMH program designed specifically for New York State providers. NYS PCMH promotes the
Quadruple Aim: a healthcare framework focused on improving patient experience, care team well-
being, population health, and reducing the cost of care.
Why Recognition Matters
Practices that earn NCQA Recognition have demonstrated a commitment to continuous quality
improvement and a patient-centered approach to care. Patients can be confident that the practice
from which they receive care has been vetted based on industry-leading best practices. Clinician-
focused programs award Recognition to clinicians who use evidence-based measures to provide
quality care to patients with certain conditions. Many payers acknowledge NCQA Recognition.
