JMH Primary Care Providers in Alfred and Wellsville Family Medicine Medical Village Receive PCMH Recognition
The Jones Memorial Alfred Primary Care office as well as the Family Medicine with OB Practice in the Wellsville Medical Village have been awarded Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition by the National Committee for Quality Assurance. The new PCMH providers are Dr. Lu-Ann Kaye in Wellsville, Dr. Ryan Nightingale and Molly Dempsey, PA in Alfred. With this new recognition, all JMH primary care practices, with the exception of specialty care and OB, are certified Patient Centered Medical Homes.
The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home standards emphasize the use of systematic, patient-centered, coordinated care that supports access, communication and patient involvement. “NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition raises the bar in defining high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology and coordinated care focused on patients,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Recognition shows that Jones Memorial has the tools, systems and resources to provide its patients with the right care, at the right time.”
“Receiving this recognition shows our commitment to deliver high quality cost effective care. By putting patients at the center of their care and using a team based approach we can provide the community resources and tools needed to support access and communication. This team based approach allows patient access across the health system,” explained Julie Seaman, Medical Practices Director for Jones Memorial Hospital.
In order to maintain PCMH status, the medical practices will continue to identify opportunities to better manage patient care.
