HUSKY Health Person-Centered Medical Home

Join the 100+ practices in Connecticut that are participating in the DSS PCMH program.

At HUSKY Health, we offer resources and support to practices interested in becoming DSS Person-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) practices.

The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home model of care is the basis for Connecticut’s Person-Centered Medical Home program. A PCMH provides person-centered, comprehensive, and coordinated care. Care is organized around a person and led by a primary care provider who facilitates and coordinates a person’s healthcare needs with other healthcare professionals. PCMHs improve access to care, improve efficiency of care, and improve coordination of care resulting in improved quality of care.

Use our site to learn about PCMH, become PCMH recognized, and keep your PCMH designation. Use the “Person-Centered Medical Home” navigation to go directly to a specific page in the pathway.
