The practice provides continuity of care for patients/families by:

Expecting patients/families to select a personal clinician

For this, you should highlight the section of their patient policy that describes the expectation and reason for choosing a personal clinician at the practice.

Documenting the patient’s/family’s choice of clinician

You should show where you track a primary care provider in Partner and how this PCP appears on the scheduling screen as a reminder to schedulers when booking appointments. Here are a couple screenshots that show these features:

Description	Example/Screenshot/Documentation	Source	Date Added
A patient's primary care provider is documented in the patient editor in Partner		Partner	03/20/13
An initial for the patient's primary care provider on record always shows on the main scheduling screen.		Partner	03/20/13

This would need to reported for each provider. In the end, they'll need to produce a summary report showing:

• % of total visits where a PCP was assigned to the patient
• % of total visits where the provider who saw the patient was their PCP
