Subject: The Oregon Health Authority, Office for Oregon Health Policy and Research is adopting temporary administrative rules for the Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) Program. The rules implement PCPCH standards, reporting, and recognition process and other applicable mandates of ORS 442.210, which was enacted by the 74th Legislative Assembly and 2011 Oregon Laws, Chapter 602 (HB 3650) enacted by the 75th Legislative Assembly. These proposed rules are intended to fulfill the mandates by prescribing the standards used for practices to quality as PCPCHs, the reporting requirements for PCPCHs, and the process used to recognize PCPCHs.

These temporary rules are available on the OHPR website: http://www.oregon.gov/OHA/OHPR/rulemaking/index.shtml.

Scope

These rules (OAR 409-055-0000 to 409-055-0080) establish the Patient-Centered Primary Care Home Program and define criteria that the Authority shall use to recognize and verify status as PCPCHs. The PCPCH is a model of primary care that has received attention in Oregon and across the country for its potential to advance the “triple aim” goals of health reform: a healthy population, extraordinary patient care for everyone, and reasonable costs, shared by all. PCPCHs achieve these goals through a focus on wellness and prevention, coordination of care, active management and support of individuals with special health care needs, and a patient and family-centered approach to all aspects of care. PCPCHs emphasize whole-person care in order to address a patient and family’s physical and behavioral health care needs.

Recognition Criteria

(1) The PCPCH measures are divided into “Must-Pass” measures and other measures that place the practice on a scale of maturity or ‘tier’ that reflect basic to more advanced PCPCH functions.

(2) Must-Pass and Tier 1 measures focus on foundational PCPCH elements that should be achievable by most practices in Oregon with significant effort, but without significant financial outlay.

(3) Tier 2 and Tier 3 measures reflect intermediate and advanced functions.

(4) Except for the 10 Must-Pass measures, each measure is assigned a point value corresponding to the Tier. For a practice to be recognized as a PCPCH, it must meet the following point allocation criteria:

(a) Tier 1: 30–60 points and all 10 Must-Pass Measures

(b) Tier 2: 65–125 points and all 10 Must-Pass Measures

(5) A practice’s point score shall be calculated through the recognition process pursuant to OAR 409-055-0040.

(6) See Table 1 for a detailed list of Measures and corresponding point assignment.

(7) See Tables 2.A and 2.B for a detailed list of the PCPCH Quality Measures referred to in Table 1, 2.A) Performance & Clinical Quality Improvement, 4.A) Personal Clinician Assigned, and 4.D) Personal Clinician Continuity.

(8) Data specifications for the measures listed in Table 2 shall be available on the Program website.

(9) Quantitative data shall be aggregated at the practice level, not the individual patient level, and there may not be any transfer of any personal health information.

(10) Measure specification, thresholds for demonstrating improvement, and benchmarks for quantitative data elements shall be developed by the Office and made available on the Program website.

(11) NCQA recognition will be acknowledged in the Authority’s Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition process.

(12) Depending on the version of NCQA recognition that was used, practices seeking Oregon PCPCH recognition must attest to being a NCQA recognized PCMH and submit additional information.

(13) Additional required elements are listed in Table 3 for PCMH practices using 2008 NCQA criteria and Table 4 for PCMH practices using 2011 NCQA criteria.
