Patient Centered Medical Home

Katy Trail Community Health is recognized as a patient-centered medical home. It is being recognized as a Level Three Patient-Centered Medical Home by The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). Katy Trail Community Health is the first in the West Central Missouri area to achieve this distinction. NCQA is a private, non-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality.  NCQA accredits and certifies a wide range of health care organizations including hospitals, clinics, and insurance companies.

 

NCQA’s Level Three Recognition is the highest in the organization’s rating scale. To earn a Level Three designation, a practice must score high marks in NCQA’s nine elements of quality care. Some of the elements are: access and communication, patient self-management support, electronic prescribing, and advanced electronic communications.

 

All three Katy Trail Community Health clinics are recognized by NCQA. The concept of a patient-centered medical home is focused around teamwork, quality care, chronic disease management, and prevention. Instead of only treating a person when they are sick or injured, the medical home seeks to advise and educate to keep its patients healthy.

 

“Katy Trail Community Health is proud to receive recognition for its medical home at the Sedalia and Warsaw locations,” said Janet Canavese, Board of Directors, President, Katy Trail Community Health. “Since its launch, we have seen how the medical home model allows us to deliver on our promise of personalized care as we partner with the patient and customize their health care experience. The medical home model is healthcare that revolves around the patient.”
