"Foundations of Health Care Homes Certification” is a free, on-demand, e-learning course that takes organizations through the Health Care Homes certification and recertification process. To access the course, visit Health Care Homes Learning Collaborative E-Learning.

MDH Health Care Homes has made changes in how clinics will meet the benchmarking requirement at HCH recertification. The updated benchmarking process will use the recertification team meeting to facilitate the sharing of information about how your organization prioritizes measures, your performance on those measures and by which benchmarks you are using to assess that performance, and the process improvement work being done to impact outcomes.
