Open Door is proud of the local and national recognition it has received in the last few years. The following are organizations that have acknowledged us for outstanding performance:

Open Door is accredited by the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission’s Ambulatory Care Accreditation Program was established in 1975, and today more than 19,000 freestanding ambulatory care organizations are Joint Commission-accredited. The Joint Commission sets national standards for health care delivery. Accreditation means that we have demonstrated a commitment to the highest level of patient safety and patient care; and meet the nationally accepted benchmark of quality.

In September of 2010 Open Door was the recipient of the 2010 Davies Community Health Organization Award. The HIMSS Nicholas E. Davies Award of Excellence has recognized excellence in the implementation and use of health information technology, specifically electronic health records since 1994. There are currently four award categories: Public Health, Organizational, Ambulatory, and Community Health Organizations.

In December of 2009 Open Door received the highest level of recognition as a patient-centered medical home by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA).

NCQA’s Physician Practice Connections®- Patient-Centered Medical Home™ (PPC-PCMH)* program reflects the input of the American College of Physicians, American Academy of Family Physicians, American Academy of Pediatrics and American Osteopathic Association and others in the revision of Physician Practice Connections® to assess whether physician practices are functioning as medical homes. The PPC-PCMH standards emphasize the use of systematic, patient-centered, coordinated care management processes.

The National Committee for Quality Assurance is a private, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving health care quality.
