Health Care Homes
News and Announcements

An updated version of the Foundations of Health Care Homes Certification e-learning course is now available on the MDH Learning Center. The course covers the Health Care Homes progression model and the standards and requirements for certification and recertification as a Health Care Home. The course is designed for primary care providers considering HCH certification, as a resource for clinical staff in the certification or recertification process, and as an orientation for care team members who would benefit from learning about the Health Care Homes model.

To access the course, log in to the MDH Learning Center and search for Foundations of Health Care Homes Certification.

MDH Health Care Homes has made changes in how clinics will meet the benchmarking requirement at HCH recertification. The updated benchmarking process will use the recertification team meeting to facilitate the sharing of information about how your organization prioritizes measures, your performance on those measures and by which benchmarks you are using to assess that performance, and the process improvement work being done to impact outcomes.
