Quality Designations
Patient-centered, coordinated care is fundamental component of the QFP’s standards for high quality care. Quality recognition programs offer a framework to develop processes and tracking mechanisms to define, measure, and improve quality and provide third-party validation of a health center’s quality standards, increasing their credibility and recognition among patients, partners, and payers.
NFPRHA's Work
One of NFPRHA’s top priorities is to help its members create a sustainable business model while maintaining a mission to provide high-quality family planning and sexual health services to predominantly low-income and underinsured individuals. Quality designations, like the National Committee of Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Specialty Practice (PCSP) or Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition programs, offer family planning providers the opportunity to improve quality and sustainability by adhering to national standards of care. NFPRHA sees quality designations as an opportunity for family planning providers to be recognized for their work to provide high-quality, patient-centered care.
