MedPeds has been recognized by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for achieving Level III of the Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH). NCQA is a private, non-profit national organization dedicated to improving health care quality. In Maryland, only a few practices have achieved the Level III PCMH Award. We are proud of this accomplishment.

What is a Patient Centered Medical Home?

The Patient Centered Medical Home is a health care setting that facilitates partnerships between individual patients, and their personal physicians, and when appropriate, the patient’s family. Care is facilitated by registries, information technology, health information exchange and other means to assure that patients get the indicated care when and where they need and want.
