The practice maintains continuous relationships with patients through care management processes based on evidence-based guidelines. A key to successful implementation of guidelines is to embed them in the practice’s day-to-day operations and by using registries that proactively identify and engage patients who are lacking important services (as in PCMH 2, Element D).

The practice implements evidence-based guidelines through point of care reminders for patients with 3 important conditions.

When selecting conditions, you should consider the following:

  • Diagnoses and risk factors prevalent in patients seen by the practice (data from PCMH 2, Elements B and C)
  • Pick conditions where care management, medication management, and self-management support play a role in reducing complications
  • Pick conditions for which there are evidence-based clinical guidelines
  • Patients with the conditions selected in factors 1–3 will be used for the medical record review required in Elements 3.C and 3.D, and in PCMH 4, Element A.
