PBGH’s Care Excellence Program

The PBGH Care Excellence Program, an integral pillar of the PBGH System of Excellence, sets the gold standard in rigorously evaluating and identifying top-tier primary care providers based on an employer-driven set of high standards and shared metric. Created over three years with employers’ feedback, this program acknowledges the expertise and commitment of top-tier primary care providers and utilizes the PBGH Advanced Primary Care Shared Standards, developed by and for employers, honing in on eight pivotal attributes that amplify both patient experience and care outcomes. These attributes, encompassing integrated team-based care to risk-stratified care management, echo the needs of employers and their employees.

The PBGH Care Excellence award enables providers to join hands with PBGH to not only gain recognition for their existing excellence but also enhance their outreach, making them more attractive for contracting with both employers and health plans. This program also eases the selection process for employers and health plans, introducing them to the PBGH System of Excellence, a national group of vetted clinics that have received the PBGH Care Excellence award.

In essence, the PBGH Care Excellence Program does for employers what the Michelin Guide does for dining:

guiding employers to unmatched excellence –
access to highest-quality care delivery
