The 2017 Standards are broken down into six concepts that align with the principles of primary care. Within each concept are competencies which are meant to organize the criteria within each concept area. Criteria are the individual structures, functions and activities that indicate a practice is operating as a medical home.

To achieve recognition under the new PCMH program, practices must:

  • Meet all core criteria
  • Earn 25 credits in elective criteria across 5 of 6 concepts.

This ensures a minimum set of capabilities and gives practices the flexibility to focus on activities that not only mean the most to their patient population, but are feasible to accomplish with regard to their resources and the resources of their community.
