  20. Decisions, Decisions? Type Funds Status Tech

  21. The Easy Decisions • Your practice already has PCMH 2011 recognition – you do nothing until renewal. • You decide not to pursue PCMH recognition. • Your practice is working on your PCMH 2011 application – no time to lose! • You are submitting a multi-site 2011 – your corporate tool must be in by December 31, 2014 and all sites completed by March 31, 2015.

  22. Do you go for 2011 or do 2014? If you are… • In a Medium to Large Practice • With standardized & documented processes • An emphasis on integrated behavioral health • With an advanced HER and state of the art Registry • Able and willing to do Meaningful Use Stage 2 More work in with more time… Less work in less time… 2011 2014

  23. When is 2014 the only choice? If you are… • A health system with a large number of physicians and dozens of sites under one Corporate application. and/or you are… • Starting now with little to no prior experience or knowledge of PCMH.

  24. Everyone else should be going for 2011! • PCMH 2011 Advantages for Small Practices • With smart work & ingenuity, practices on paper can obtain Level I recognition • Level III recognition is straightforward even for small practices with MU 1 (or equivalent) • Contrary to mythology, lean small practices can become 2011 PCMH recognized • The increased 2014 emphasis on Team Care, Mental/behavioral health, Processes and Analytics is particularly challenging for small practices

  25. Scenarios
