The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home is a model of primary care that combines teamwork and information technology to improve care, improve patients’ experience of care and reduce costs. Medical homes foster ongoing partnerships between patients and their personal clinicians, instead of approaching care as the sum of episodic office visits. Each patient’s care is overseen by clinician-led care teams that coordinate treatment across the health care system. Research shows that medical homes can lead to higher quality and lower costs and can improve patient and provider reported experiences of care.
As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), Harbor Community Health Centers is required to report data on patient demographics, services provided, clinical indicators, utilization rates, costs, and revenues. As the medical home to over 6,000 patients annually, we strive to provide our patients with the best care possible. To see our latest performance numbers, click HERE.
