These divisions have done a great deal of work to prepare for this recognition.
"NCQA Patient-Centered Specialty Practice Recognition distinguishes practices that communicate, collaborate, and integrate care in ways that patients want and that improve quality," said NCQA President Margaret E. O'Kane. "I commend the team at Boston Children's Health Physicians for its achievement and its commitment to continuous improvement."
BCHP's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Suzanne Kaseta said "This is a huge accomplishment and one that we are very proud of.

Thank you and congratulations to all who have been involved in the transformation."
