Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Sunshine Health is offering family and pediatric providers the opportunity to work with HealthARCH to develop a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) model of care to help deliver better healthcare and health outcomes.

HealthARCH is a team of health consultants with the University of Central Florida College of Medicine who offer resources and support to help family and pediatric practices adopt the PCMH model. The National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) PCMH Recognition program does charge annual fees to practices. For more information, visit ncqa.org.

The PCMH model is a widely accepted industry model that strengthens the physician-patient relationship by replacing episodic care with coordinated care and a long-term collaborative relationship. These concepts can lead to a more efficient practice and improved quality while addressing social determinants of health and population health.

For More Information

Providers interested in this program should complete the online PCMH Readiness Assessment.

Participating providers will receive:

  • Personalized technical assistance from a dedicated HealthARCH NCQA PCMH Certified Content Expert (CCE) to guide your practice through the process.
  • Sustainable support, including one year of NCQA PCMH recognition renewal technical assistance.
