TC 01 (Core): Designates a clinician lead of the medical home and a staff person to manage the PCMH transformation and medical home activities

The practice identifies the clinician lead and the transformation manager (the person leading the PCMH transformation). This may be the same person. The practice provides details including the person’s name, credentials and roles/responsibilities.

TC 02 (Core): Defines practice organizational structure and staff responsibilities/skills to support key PCMH functions

The practice provides an overview of practice staff; an outline of duties the staff are expected to execute as part of the medical home; and how the practice will support and train staff to complete these duties.

TC 03 (1 Credit): The practice is involved in external PCMH-oriented collaborative activities (e.g., federal/state initiatives, health information exchanges)

The practice demonstrates involvement in at least one state or federal initiative (e.g., CPC+, care management learning collaborative led by the state, two-way data exchange with a local health information exchange; population-based care or learning collaborative) or participates in a health information exchange. Many PCC practices collaborate with their state or local organization by participating in a health information exchange. To get credit for this component, describe your involvement in this collaborative activity
