Stronger, more connected primary care starts with collaboration—uniting care teams, aligning expectations and creating a shared framework that drives coordinated, person‑centered care in a value‑based world.

Primary care is the foundation of the healthcare system, but increasing complexity, rising expectations and fragmented accountability present challenges for patients and care teams alike. NCQA focuses on advancing primary care models that are connected, person-centered and built to meet today’s demands.

NCQA’s work aims to define what it takes for primary care to thrive in a value-based environment—providing a clearer, shared framework for capability development, measurable performance and coordinated care. This approach is designed to reduce fragmentation, strengthen collaboration across the system and support healthier communities.
