Which statement regarding patient-centered medical home (PCMH) recognition is correct?

The statement indicating that no single organization is responsible for recognizing Patient-Centered Medical Homes (PCMHs) is accurate because multiple organizations can provide recognition. Various accrediting bodies, including the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA), The Joint Commission, and others, have established their criteria and programs for recognizing PCMHs. This pluralistic approach allows healthcare practices to achieve PCMH recognition through different quality improvement frameworks tailored to their specific patient care processes. As a result, healthcare providers have choices when seeking recognition, and achieving PCMH designation can occur through different recognized pathways. This flexibility encourages practices to engage in self-assessment and improvement efforts aligned with a patient-centered approach to care.
