About this On Demand Training

OnDemand: CCE Quarterly: 2021 Town Hall for CCEs: Future Updates

Cost: Free

PCMH CCEs are valued ambassadors of the patient-centered medical home. As we consider new PCMH policy changes and new opportunities to support and measure quality care, we invite CCEs to join us for a special Town Hall with NCQA Leadership and key staff to discuss new priorities and opportunities for clinicians and care delivery systems.

During this OnDemand event, we will discuss future changes to the PCMH and PCSP programs, Health Equity and Advanced Primary Care. We want to hear your honest feedback on proposed changes and programs.

NCQA is committed to innovation and helping you support your clients. Increasing opportunities for sharing information, like this Town Hall, is just one way we are working to bring more value to CCEs.

This complimentary session can be used in lieu of a required CCE Quarterly Webinar.

This grants 2.0 required CEU points for PCMH CCEs.
