As part of our PHO's requirements all the Primary care docs are going to have to be PCMH certified. I just started on the process yesterday and came to the conclusion that they should call it patient centered medical HORSEBARN. I sat with some one from the pho for 2 hours and we started on getting information on Standard 3 POPULATION HEALTH MANAGEMENT. (Beware of new Buzzwords) I was told that even though AC requires the date of birth and sex of the patient to be entered before it will save anything that because I was unable to produce a report with a numerator and a denominator of the number of patients that I successfully entered their DOB and sex as structured data there was a problem and I do not meet this requirement. Seems rather unbelievable to me.
Anybody else with any experience or success with getting certified without these specific type of reports?
