This onsite certification evaluates a practice against AAAHC Standards for a Medical Home. As with our accreditation program, our surveyors make an onsite visit to assess how your organization meets the Standards at the point of care and from a patient perspective.

We recognize that becoming a Patient-Centered Medical Home is a transformative process. The Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) certification includes consultative support for your organization before, during, and after the survey.

PCMH Standards include

  • Patient rights, responsibilities and protections
  • Organizational governance and administration
