STAFF MATTERS
Update for Catskill Regional Medical Center employees, physicians and volunteers
March/April 2018
A Message From Our Leader It’s hard to believe that the first anniversary of Catskill Regional Medical Group’s Monticello (Town of Thompson) Urgent Care and Primary Care office will be here in May. We are proud to share that we have already seen and treated over 10,000 patients! Additionally, our Urgent Care was recently accredited by the Urgent Care Association of America (UCAOA). Only six percent of urgent care facilities have this designation. This designation places them among a select few such centers across the country to have met all established criteria of the UCAOA. All three of our Primary Care offices have received the Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) recognition by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA). This recognition is rewarded to facilities for using evidence-based, patient-centered processes that focus on highly coordinated care and long-term participative relationships. NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home standards emphasize the use of systematic, patient-centered, coordinated care that supports access, communication and patient involvement. Jonathan Schiller
