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
Monday, November 14th.
