NCQA Physician Recognition
The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has several national programs that recognize excellence in care provided by individual physicians and clinics. The Alliance, in conjunction with the Washington State Department of Health, strongly encourages all physicians and clinics to apply for NCQA recognition. Why is this important? What problem do these programs address? What's in it for physicians, health plans, consumers, and others? Who should apply? What does the process involve? How can I help? Who do I contact for more information? For answers to these and other questions see:
Interested in applying or encouraging other physicians to apply? The following resource materials can help you get started. NCQA Recognition: Quick Start to Apply (PDF) Diabetes Care: Frequently Asked Questions about NCQA Recognition (PDF) Diabetes Care: What Does NCQA Recognition Measure? (PDF)
Heart / Stroke Care: Frequently Asked Questions about NCQA Recognition (PDF) Heart / Stroke Care: What Does NCQA Recognition Measure? (PDF)
If you have specific questions about the NCQA Recognition programs, including insights about the application process and experience, contact Colette Rush, Quality Improvment Specialist, by email or phone (206.448.2570 ext. 122). Other NCQA recognition programs in clinical quality address the use of health information technology and care for back pain.
If you find any of these resources particularly helpful or if you have questions or concerns, send us your comments. |
