Hunterdon Cardiovascular Associates: Recognized NCQA Patient-Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP) Tier 3
What Does This Recognition Mean?
In a Patient-Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP), care is centered around the patient at every level and opportunity. Everyone in the practice works as a team to coordinate care with your primary doctor, other referring clinicians, community resources and services as needed.
Proven benefits of using PCSP include:
- Integrated care that produces better outcomes. We organize care on behalf of our patients and family members to reduce risk and improve results.
- Improved quality of care. Hunterdon Cardiovascular Associates plays a key role in achieving the “triple aim” of better quality, better patient experience and reduced overall cost to both patients and the health care system.
- Better management of chronic conditions. Research shows that these conditions are managed better in a medical home.
- More efficient practice. Superior coordination and communication efforts ensure timely and appropriate referrals and consultations.
