Napa Valley’s Premier Community Health Center Recognized as PCMH by National Committee for Quality Assurance.
OLE Health has received Level-3 recognition as a Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) by the National Committee for Quality Assurance. Earning this coveted recognition places OLE Health as one of only two medical practices (or health care systems) in the Napa Valley Region to receive this national accolade.
A Patient-Centered Medical Home is a model of care that strengthens the provider-patient relationship by replacing episodic care with a coordinated and long-term healing relationship. Each patient has an ongoing relationship with a personal primary care provider, who leads a team at a single location that takes collective responsibility for patient care, meeting the patient’s health care needs and even arranging for appropriate care with other qualified clinicians. A PCMH provides a more personalized, coordinated, effective and efficient health care experience.
“Our philosophy at OLE Health has always been to provide the highest standard of care for every patient that walks through our doors. The PCMH model of care uniquely enables us to work with patients to make smart decisions about their own health care. At the center of a team of providers that include physicians, nurse practitioners, behavioral health specialists, nurses, women’s health specialists, dentists and nutritionists, our patients feel confident that they are the primary focus when they come in for a visit” says Tanir Ami, Chief Executive Officer at OLE Health.
Attaining the Level-3 highest-standard of PCMH recognition from NCQA is a source of pride for medical practices. But the real value is in what the designation means to patients. Those receiving care from a recognized PCMH obtain comprehensive, well-coordinated care. Patients are supported to better manage their chronic conditions. They also enjoy convenient online access to their care team, including obtaining test results or scheduling appointments. The PCMH designation is valid for a period of 3-years before renewal.
