PBGH Care Excellence Program

The PBGH Care Excellence Program, an integral pillar of the PBGH System of Excellence, sets the gold standard in health care by rigorously evaluating and identifying top-tier primary care teams based on an employer and purchaser set of standards and shared quality metrics. Our mission is simple yet transformative: to make it easy for employers and purchasers to identify and partner with the highest quality healthcare, starting with advanced primary care.

The PBGH Care Excellence Program accomplishes for employees seeking top-notch health care what Michelin does for food enthusiasts. Created with input from employers, clinicians and technical experts, this program acknowledges the expertise and commitment of top-tier health care teams. PBGH is starting with primary care by utilizing the PBGH Advanced Primary Care Shared Standards to identify the best care for employees and their families. The Standards reflect patient and purchaser priorities by focusing on key attributes of quality, access, patient experience and care outcomes.

The PBGH Care Excellence award recognizes care teams and clinicians for the exceptional care they provide so that employers, employees and health plans know who meets these high standards. This program also enables entry into to the PBGH System of Excellence, a national group of vetted clinics that have received the PBGH Care Excellence award, which will be used by employers, purchasers and health plans.

Building on our 35 years of experience pioneering quality measurement and as an operating partner for the Employers’ Center of Excellence Network, one of the nation’s most successful employer-based health care initiatives, we have created a system that delivers whole-person health by providing access to top-quality specialty care connected to advanced primary care.
