What can contribute to a practice's accelerated pace when adding unrecognized sites during active PCMH?

The option regarding credit earned from previous survey tools is particularly relevant in the context of a practice's accelerated pace when adding unrecognized sites during active Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) certification. When a practice has already undergone previous assessments or surveys, this prior experience can streamline the process of evaluating new sites.

Practices often benefit from established frameworks, learnings, and feedback gathered from earlier assessments that can inform and support the addition of new locations. This credit reflects accumulated knowledge and lessons learned that can lead to improved strategies and efficiencies when integrating these new sites into the PCMH framework.

The other choices may contribute positively to a practice's overall performance or adaptability but do not directly correlate to an "accelerated pace" in the same manner. Increased staff training opportunities, while enhancing competency, could require time and may not directly speed up the process of site recognition. Enhanced patient engagement strategies are crucial for care quality but focus more on the quality of care rather than the pace of operational expansion. Additional funding resources may support new sites but do not inherently quicken the processes associated with achieving recognition.

In essence, the established credit from prior survey tools is instrumental in fostering a more efficient pathway to integrating new practices into the PCMH model.
