The objective of this study was to examine the perspectives of primary care physicians who serve CSHCN on changes they and their practices made in order to achieve the highest level of NCQA PCMH-recognition. Specifically, the study used information from physicians in pediatric and family practices that obtained Level 3 NCQA PCMH-recognition prior to 2011 to address two questions: (1) Did physicians and practices undergo any explicit changes in order to achieve PCMH-recognition? and (2) Did any of the changes lead to higher quality care for CSHCN?
