Schoolhouse Pediatrics, at its Albany, Coxsackie and Clifton Park, New York  locations, has been awarded recognition by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) Patient-Centered Medical Home Program.

NCQA is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving health care quality. The organization accredits and certifies a wide range of health care organizations and manages the evolution of HEDIS®, the performance measurement tool used by more than 90 percent of the nation’s health plans. NCQA is governed by a Board of Directors that includes employers, consumers, health plans, quality experts, and representatives from organized medicine. Their website (www.ncqa.org) contains information to help consumers, employers and others make more informed health care choices.

“NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition raises the bar in defining high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology and coordinated care focused on patients,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Recognition shows that Schoolhouse Pediatrics has the tools, systems and resources to provide its patients with the right care, at the right time.”
