Common use of H-MH Demonstration Eligibility and Selection Clause in Contracts

H-MH Demonstration Eligibility and Selection. All teaching institutions in New York State will be eligible to participate in the H-MH demonstration. However, because the state does not intend to use a public competitive process to select awardees, the selection criteria for the H-MH demonstration will include for each: a) The extent to which the hospital has existing arrangements with training sites in the community (such as federally qualified health centers) to provide clinical experience to its primary care residents; b) An attestation as to their willingness and commitment to accomplish all milestones outlined in STC 48, including achieving NCQA PPC®-PCMHTM Level 2 recognition or above (in accordance with the standards applicable at the time that recognition is awarded) by the end of the second year of the demonstration; c) An agreement to track and report the clinical performance metrics required in STC 49; and d) An agreement to implement both the system improvement and patient safety initiatives consistent with STCs 50 and 51. To ensure that a mix of both academic medical centers and community teaching hospitals receive awards under the H-MH demonstration, the Department must submit its recommendations (along with proposed award amounts) to CMS for review before making final awards. An institution that already has achieved at least PPC®-PCMHTM Level 2 recognition under an earlier set of NCQA standards may participate if its goal is to renew or upgrade its recognition under later, more stringent NCQA standards.
