Or. Admin. Code § 409-055-0000

Current through Register Vol. 63, No. 12, December 1, 2024

Section 409-055-0000 - Purpose and Scope

These rules (OAR 409-055-0000 to 409-055-0090) establish the Patient-Centered Primary Care Home (PCPCH) Program and define criteria and process 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 to address a patient and family's physical and behavioral health care needs.
