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

1.D.1 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.

1.D.2 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:

1.D.3 Monitoring the percentage of patient visits with selected clinician or team.

You need to produce a report showing the percentage of patient visits within a specified time period (at least five days) that are performed by the patient's PCP on record. This would need to reported for each provider. In the end, you'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 the PCP

A Partner srs report can be generated to show all appointments performed within a date range, including provider of appointment and PCP on record. Data would be exported to a spreadsheet and summarized into a pivot table of results. Please contact PCC support for assistance with getting this report.
