The Progress Update is to help practices identify their PCMH focus, strengths, and weaknesses.
The responses also allow program administrators to connect participants with appropriate
resources, if the practice is interested. The administrators also use this information to highlight the
strengths of the Montana PCMH Program and to identify areas where improvement could occur and
assistance could be provided. The data helps program administrators make informed decisions
regarding program development, such as reporting requirements. PCMH providers can use the
information as an advocacy tool in their organizations and payors can use the information to plan
their PCMH contracts. The comparative data shows the progress of practices' PCMH
transformation year-to-year. Please complete the update by EOB on Thursday, October 29th.
