We are very proud to announce that the Northwest Medical Specialties’ Puyallup location has received a one-year recognition for Hematology/Oncology by the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) for delivering high-quality, patient-centered care in a patient-centered specialty practice.
Practices that become recognized under Patient-Centered Specialty Practice Recognition have demonstrated commitment to patient-centered care and clinical quality through streamlined referral processes and care coordination with referring clinicians, timely patient and caregiver-focused care management, and continuous clinical quality improvement.
“NCQA Patient-Centered Specialty Practice Recognition distinguishes practices that communicate, collaborate and integrate care in ways that patients want and that improve quality,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “I commend the team at Northwest Medical Specialties for its achievement, and for its commitment to continuous improvement.”
This recognition reflects the unwavering dedication, collaboration, and compassion our NWMS team brings every day to ensure our patients receive the highest standard of care.
