- 30. A URAC PCHCH Success Story
Country Creek Pediatrics in Rochester, Michigan became the first
practice to attain URAC PCHCH Practice Achievement.
“Our URAC PCHCH Practice Achievement is a valuable recognition of the work we have put
into delivering quality, patient centered health care to our entire population. The URAC
onsite auditors were friendly, professional, well-prepared and considerate of our
schedule. We look forward to a continued relationship with URAC as we move to the
future of patient centered health care.” Dr. Rozmiej
“Working on our URAC PCHCH Practice Achievement helped us to fine tune
our policies and procedures to better address staff training, cultural
diversity and literacy levels of our patient population. Since we were
already operating as a patient centered medical home, we had many of
the URAC Standards already in place. The URAC PCHCH Practice
Achievement Guide was an invaluable tool for preparing us for the
actual onsite review.” Patient Care Coordinator
