Inverness & Spring Hill, Florida (March 9, 2017) – Access Health Care Physicians is proud to announce that the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) has stated that Dalton M. Benson, MD, has received NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition (PCMH) for using evidence-based, patient-centered processes that focus on highly coordinated care and long‐term, participative relationships. Dr. Benson has achieved recognition as a Level 3 Patient-Centered Medical Home.
The office of Dr. Benson is located at 401 N. Central Avenue, Inverness, Florida 34453. Call 352-419-6526 to schedule an appointment.
Dr. Benson earned his medical degree from University of Texas Medical School in Houston and completed internship and residency in internal medicine at the Medical College of Wisconsin affiliated hospitals in Milwaukee. Dr. Benson has a certificate of added qualifications in geriatric medicine and is a member of the American Geriatric Society.
The NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home is a model of primary care that combines teamwork and information technology to improve care, improve patients’ experience of care and reduce costs. Medical homes foster ongoing partnerships between patients and their personal clinicians, instead of approaching care as the sum of episodic office visits. Each patient’s care is overseen by clinician-led care teams that coordinate treatment across the health care system. Research shows that medical homes can lead to higher quality and lower costs, and can improve patient and provider reported experiences of care.
“NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition raises the bar in defining high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology and coordinated care focused on patients,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Recognition shows that Dr. Adam has the tools, systems and resources to provide its patients with the right care, at the right time.”
To earn recognition, which is valid for three years, Dr. Adam demonstrated the ability to meet the program’s key elements, embodying characteristics of the medical home. NCQA standards aligned with the joint principles of the Patient-Centered Medical Home established with the American College of Physicians, the American Academy of Family Physicians, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Osteopathic Association.
