Beebe primary care practices earn national recognition
Beebe Medical Group Primary Care Practices have been recognized for sustaining National Committee on Quality Assurance Patient-Centered Medical Home standards. This model of care puts patient needs first and requires a team-based approach to achieve optimal health outcomes.
“The Patient-Centered Medical Home allows safer, outcome-based care that empowers the patients and their families to be actively engaged in achieving the best overall health,” said Dr. Bobby Gulab, Beebe Medical Group chief medical officer. “Research supports that Patient-Centered Medical Home recognized practices are committed to better health and better care at lower costs. We have worked hard to meet the NCQA’s increasingly rigorous standards that are required for recognition.”
Practices that achieved this award are Beebe Family Practice offices - Beacon, Lewes, Milford, and Millville; Beebe Internal Medicine - Milton; and Beebe Primary Care - Georgetown and Millsboro.
Some of the ways practices earned this recognition include offering same-day appointments for urgent and routine needs, office hours, walk-in services, and on-call providers to ensure availability to patients by phone 24/7. In addition, BMG’s online patient portal allows patients direct access to their provider for refills and referrals, and to securely ask questions anytime. Patient care is provided through healthcare teams working together to meet all of the patients’ needs in a diverse, sensitive manner, along with many other patient-centered objectives.
“Beebe Healthcare is committed to a relentless pursuit of quality, safe, and patient-focused care at all of our clinical care sites,” said Dr. David A. Tam, Beebe Healthcare president and CEO. “Our primary care practitioners are here for all our patients in the community, and our team will always strive to exceed best practices to enhance the care you receive from Beebe.”
