DataGen’s division of Practice Advancement Strategies provides guidance to medical practices nationally on many of the recognition and accreditation programs from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH), Patient-Centered Specialty Care (PCSP), Behavioral Health Distinction (BH), Health Equity Accreditation (HEA), and value-based incentives are just some of the transformation consultation services offered over the past ten plus years. Practice Advancement Strategies has NCQA content certified experts (CCE’s) who personally deliver education, project and change management approaches, tools and resources, and best-practice to ensure each organization seamlessly achieves and sustains recognition from year to year. The goals are to eliminate the administrative burden of managing these incentive-based programs while increasing revenue and improving outcomes.
